I went into Knives Out with a lot of suspicion, entirely because of the director. Rian Johnson has done two movies that I’ve seen before, both of which impressed me a lot with their emotional and visual qualities, but which disappointed me greatly because of their lack of story cohesion: Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi, and Looper. So there I was, watching his most recent effort, Knives Out, a whodunnit style murder mystery, where story cohesion is really the name of the game.
