Saoirse Ronan is spunky and adorable, despite this being a film with murders.
Worth a watch, but I wish it was a little more of everything it was going for. It has a Wes Anderson vibe, but they should have done it more. It's quirky, even though I sort of hate describing things as quirky, but it should have been quirkier. It reminded me of Only Murders in the Building's third season, but this came out first.

In the West End of 1950s London, plans for a movie version of a smash-hit play come to an abrupt halt after a pivotal member of the crew is murdered. When world-weary Inspector Stoppard and eager rookie Constable Stalker take on the case, the two find themselves thrown into a puzzling whodunit within the glamorously sordid theater underground, investigating the mysterious homicide at their own peril.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A charmingly clever whodunit that winks at its own mystery while celebrating the theatrical world it's investigating. It's less concerned with solving the crime than enjoying the company of a mismatched detective duo stumbling through 1950s London showbiz glamour.
