My blog reviews movies as political, historical or social commentary with intentional disregard for their artistic or cinematic value. One foe of American political scientists and economists is that they ignore movies as sources to inform them on changes in American culture, view exoticism as a hallmark of "foreigness" and, at the same time, impart American values and judgment to foreign movies.

Knives Out.
The best whodunnit I watched in a long time. In the beginning, Daniel Craig sometimes slides into English drawl from a Kentucky accent but this is all right. The movie even imitates Agatha Christie in the sense that his character is American version of Belgians stereotype in France for "slow". (Not my observation, but good, anyway).
