It’s more a comedy mystery than a mystery that is also funny, and gets to Blanc early as more of a viewpoint character this time, after introducing the suspects through the invitation, a game box which you can play virtually on the official site.
And speaking of games, the cast spent evenings during the shoot playing Mafia / Werewolf among other things. And in-character references to Clue and an appearance by Among Us. Someone needs to introduce Blanc to less kiddie mystery board games too.
Setting it in 2020 brings some downer reminders that don’t add much, but this is a quibble. I laughed quite a bit, not least at the recurring gags about automation with a security measure repeatedly going off in the background like the swearing fine in Demolition Man. The location, as well as the cast, definitely leans more absurd this time.
In cinemas for a week, starting yesterday, before going to funders Netflix in time for Christmas. Some small details may well be missed as a result.
