Wake Up Dead Man adds a delightfully dark twist to Knives Out

When the director Ryan Johnson introduced the new Knives A movie on the third day of TIFF 2025, shouted: “We return to the church.”

By that means that A dead man woke upThe last ambiguity of Beno Plan, will return to the origin of Whodunit, especially the Gothic feelings of Edgar Alan Bo. Now that I saw him, I must say that Johnson has pulled it: the new movie has a darker and more spiritual feeling than his predecessors, yet it is still clearly evident. KnivesAnd it is to say twisting and fun. She shook several times, as the rest of the audience did, in the many detection. I will take a full review in the coming days, but you can read my initial thoughts below.

In addition, I managed to watch a tense German movie on the dark side of being influential, homosexual for Saudi crime with a moderate development, a dark dark comedy about how terrible children could be, and the best dusty dust that I saw at some point. It was a feverish and selective day at the very least. (Unfortunately, most of these films currently do not have the dates of the first show for a wider audience, but I will teach you if it changes.)

And if they miss, you can read my previous letters from TIFF this year as well, and cover films like Exit 8 and There is no other option.

The third and most complex Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is the darkest and most sophisticated. He covers a murder in the small church community in New York, where Blanc marries a young priest (Josh O’Connor) and the local Sharif Kunis to find out what is going on. Of course it is not simple; In fact, Planck calls the issue “impossible” constantly. But this complexity allows the film to build an incredible series of transformations and turns that seem to continue to go up to a strong emotional escalation. And don’t worry: Although the tone is more clear and dangerous at times, this may also be the funniest Knives It was ever

The movement that does not pick up at all and is great starring Xie Miao and Joe Taslim as two man fighting to download an episode to avoid children underground. Every brutal fighting sequence is as much as it is Bali, however there is creativity and fun for it as well. Almost everything can be part of the design of dances, whether it is a bicycle fencing as if it were swords, or that enemies dropped a human pyramid for climbing. If you want an idea of ​​an additional extent this movie, imagine only classic fighting Texture With the wicked, then add a motorcycle. The final sequence, between five men who have different goals, is messy and stressful, and it is impossible to look at it.

As a single child, Luka (Maga Punes) is the axis of a successful influential family. Almost every important moment happened in her life in front of the camera; She learned about her mother’s periods on podcast. She is rich but she is alone, and when her parents have come forward to have plans to have another child – paid, it seems primarily, with the chances of content – Luka begins to question the life that was forced.

This film begins well, before it explodes with a development that feels cheap and unreasonable. Nawal (Mila Al -Zahrani) is a police receptionist, but she is also addicted to the real crime, so when she is asked to help in the case of a girl, she becomes obsessed. The complications that arise from an unauthorized woman try to resolve a crime in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia add an interesting development to this type, and ambiguity is fun to the end, which I will not spoil, only to say that it permeates the goodwill created by the rest of the movie.
