Q-tips say: Yes, we did enjoy this movie.
The movie blends mystery, drama, and a touch of humor in a very entertaining way. Especially liked that the main characters are older adults, with characters full of experience and depth, which gives the story a unique charm and realism. Each character has their own personality and brings something special to the group, making the plot both intriguing and moving. It’s refreshing to see stories where older people have leading roles with such vitality and complexity.
The castle which is the set is just stunning. This is a perfect “cozy murder” movie for fall! However, there are heavy accents to deal with, so turn on the sub-titles if needed.
