Following his adventures in Knives Out and Glass Onion, detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) returns in another star-studded whodunnit, blending the Agatha Christie-style drawing room mystery with a dash of Poe-esque gothic. Here, Blanc joins forces with a small town police chief (Mila Kunis) and a pugilistic priest (Josh O’Connor) to investigate a seemingly-impossible murder in a community dominated by a firebrand cleric (Josh Brolin).
