i think the most ingenious thing about this movie is that while we're all sus of derol and why he's there, most of us don't pick up on the fact that he's almost always carrying/drinking a corona. and that he's probably a symbol of the virus still being around them. they just choose to not acknowledge him -- he even says at one point 'ignore me!' and WE DO. brilliant.

Idk if I’m the only one who realized this but the guy (forgot his name) who kept showing up and going like “I’m not here” with the long hair is the one detective from Knives Out who was a mega nerd and knew all the books. The first time I watched this film I thought the killer was him or Miles, Miles was the obvious one, but nerd detective was also a bit obvious to me, could’ve played it off as “he went insane” after knives out and stuff. Edit: Daryl, that’s his name!

9:05 That's because Peg isn't one of Miles's friends. If you look closely when they aöö greet Miles, he's ignoring her. And he also dismisses her when she asks him about Birdie's sweatshop disaster.

[@agenttheater5]

16:03 Plus it's also dumb because when they do an autopsy they'll be able to confirm the death was an allergic reaction, so his 'someone tried to kill me' story wouldn't work, and there's bound to be someone investigating the death who'd ask 'Mr Bron, do you usually put pineapple juice in your whiskey?'

[@oriyanbarnes]

17:41 amazing that you called her a disruptor because i saw a video that walked through what Helen did here with the audio of Miles explaining what disruptor means to Blanc. She started by smashing something small and people were with her, then she started smashing larger stuff and no one was with her on that

[@JNDReacts]

12:41 So I’d never actually thought about her taking time off of work before. Granted I’m sure she could get time off for a death in her family, which she probably did when she traveled to New York. But also, I looked up the Alabama public school dates, and in 2020 a lot of the schools’ last day was May 21st, which is the day Helen and Blanc met up in Greece, the night before everyone traveled to Miles’s island. Because the day they went to the island was the same day the news broke about Andi’s death, and the date on the article Helen pulled up is May 22nd.

[@gregfeasel5874]

Here's what I love about the ending: the so-called "friends" were still awful people. They didn't confess because they felt sorry for Helen or Andi, but realized that burying Miles was only going to advance their careers or at least keep their careers. Definitely want to see more of Blanc's husband. Such a great cameo.

[@elbruces]

And he even pointed to Lionel right after, as if to say "good idea, dude!"

[@nightnaughty]

From the first moment they set up that Miles steals any idea that anyone mentioned: see when Blanc suggest that the box could have been reseted as an explanation, Miles didn't say You are correct or Yes it's a possibility, he said 'Someone reset the box!' as if he came to that reasoning; then at dinner when asked about if there's an price or an award for wining, Blanc suggest an iPad, and again Miles says 'Yes the winner gets an iPad', he stole even the smallest stupid idea.

Birdie is on LSD the entire last act of the movie. When Helen looks through their belongings, Birdie has an acid blotter (Dogecoin as Hunter S. Thompson) with a couple sheets missing. This is also why she is watching herself spin her dress and later is the first one to join in on the smash stuff party.

[@tommiller4895]

The Cameos in this movie are great: Hugh Grant, Yo Yo Ma, Angela Landsbury (her final role), Steven Sondheim (his final role), Karrem Abdul Jabbar, Natasha ? (my mind went blank), Ethan Hawke and Serena Williams. Only one of the 2 Mona Lisa's were burned. There are 2 with sleight differences (look it up).

others may have pointed it out, but the reason some of the faces are familiar to you is cause Miles (Edward Norton) played Bruce Banner in the original MCU Hulk movie before he was recast with Mark Ruffalo; Duke's actor plays Drax, the PR person was Colleen Wing in _Iron Fist_ and _The Defenders_ and while Birdie wasn't in the MCU, she is the sister of Wyatt Russell (John Walker in F&WS)

[@elbruces]

If it helps most reactors discounted the possibility of it being a murder mystery game and assumed that Miles was dead when they got there.
