Crooked House
— Not the best Agatha Christie film around but it’s still a competent adaptation with some great cast members. It lacks much warmth and benefits greatly from an good cast, gorgeous sets and costuming, and an original plot that holds up even in the face of a somewhat limp treatment. I make it sound much worse than it is and I enjoyed watching it. [Netflix streaming.]

[2017. 115 min. Directed by Gilles Paquet-Brenner. Starring Max Irons, Stefanie Martini, Glenn Close, Terence Stamp, Christina Hendricks and Gillian Anderson.]
