Viewing Notes

A catty comedy/crime film in more ways than one. This just didn’t work for me because none of the characters are particularly likeable except for the caretaker and the maid. A bunch of high society people squabbling over an inheritance from a not-yet-dead matriarch, who herself isn’t even likeable, just didn’t resonate with me.
