This sequel had all the qualities of a great theater experience — sharp dialogue, a large ensemble cast, and a twist-filled plot that would have been even more fun with a live audience. The luxurious set design, especially Miles Bron’s glass mansion, was meant to be seen in full detail. The film’s comedic timing and visual gags worked best when shared with a crowd. A full theatrical release would have let it reach the same cultural momentum as the first Knives Out.
