On the Screen: ‘Knives Out 3’ truly a film for our times

Delcenia Cosman — Sat, 20 Dec 2025 17:30:00 +0000

I often feel the need to watch a film twice. The first go-around, I’m just trying to keep up with the plot, as one does, and there are inevitably small details I end up missing. I’m a big fan of small details, so I delight in finding them upon rewatching the movie I’ve just seen. By then I’ve also sat with the story for a bit, and so the film experience feels even richer because now I know what to expect, and I can appreciate the film for its own self and what it’s trying to accomplish, rather than being disappointed because it failed to meet my expectations and assumptions.
