Oh my god man this was so so so fun to watch. I have been waiting for this for a very long time and let me tell you….my expectations were met. Having loved the first knives out film, i surely wasn’t going to miss this one. Like the first installment, this was very intriguing, energetic and mysterious. Throughout the entire movie, you are trying to find last puzzle piece to complete it all in your mind. However, unlike the first film, this was a little predictable and easily foreseeable but still without ruining all the fun. The pacing of the story was spot on, immersing you deep into each character’s backstory where you can see their goals and malevolent intentions. Besides all the mystery and drama, the movie throws some good laughs every now and then. The jokes were genuinely funny and hilarious to help diverge your mind from the tension filled atmosphere. Not to mention of course the flawless acting. Daniel Craig shines as always, portraying his character with perfection. A character who looks innocent, vague and helpless but deep down he is just mysterious and malicious as everybody else with an accent that gets me every time he opens his mouth. Edward Norton, Dave Batista, Kate Hudson and janelle monáe have a beautiful chemistry together which was really something i enjoyed watching. Oh one more thing i need to mention, i could simp to Madelyn cline any day every day. I felt the spirit of the first movie pass on to this one. It’s difficult to say which one was better, The two are just unique in their own ways and i am glad they chose to take a different approach with this one. This was definitely top tier. Do i want a trilogy? Hell yea.

"The moment you said you loved me, your love is over. The moment your love ends my love begins." I think i wont feel the same for the next 3 days. I was really shocked with how moving and touching this movie is. I can’t remember the last time i remained this silent while watching something, not uttering a single word or even moving from my place. My expressions were in a constant turnover, sometimes smiling and sometimes full of tears. The moment i sat down to watch this, i never thought that a mystery/drama movie would leave me this bewildered and nonplussed. I am just….speechless. On the technical aspect, this was top class. Park Chan-wook is a true mastermind a pure genius who never disappoint. Every time i watch any of his work, i grow more and more attached to the way he directs and narrates the story. The camera angles and shots were perfect with some mesmerizing music in the background. Eventhough, this movie is very heartwarming and deep, i still believe that it holds a more vivid and a much deeper meaning that I haven’t yet discovered. I am convinced that this film holds some of the most emotionally uplifting quotes ever. However, i think what stands out the most was how film managed to portray a smart, independent, gifted, ingenious and courageous female character without making it feel like a woman empowerment/feminist movie. While Hollywood is busy making such kind of movies, this film comes in to prove that many women are naturally gifted and equally accomplished without forcing it on the viewer. "Throw it into the deep sea, don’t let anyone find it." What an ending! This was, in my opinion, one of the most emotionally touching endings I’ve ever seen. Absolutely brilliant. Can’t wait to rewatch this to discover even more small meaningful details scattered here and there cause one watch is simply not enough!
