Playful – Kitsch – Mystery

When her glamorous new friend Emily (Blake Lively) mysteriously disappears after asking her to pick up her son, Stephanie (Anna Kendrick) dives into a tangled web of secrets to uncover the truth.

I know this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I enjoy it as a playful mystery/detective film.

I love Anna Kendrick and adore her humour, she’s so funny!

I love the extravagant costumes.

I still find it an enjoyable watch while knowing how the film ends. I like the pacing of how the story unfolds.

I feel it doesn’t take itself too seriously which adds to the charm of the film.

I’m not saying it’s a masterclass in mystery storytelling where you’re left feeling “I never saw that coming!”, but it’s an enjoyable easy watch with Anna Kendrick being hilarious.

Would watch again.
