Clue
36Leave it.
A farce about corruption. Clever, adult, and not impressed by the guests.
Take controlThis scores 36. If you do not want Clue in the house, the steps are on Prime Video. Block it
The review
Everyone in the house has a public face and a private leverage. The comedy is the speed of the doors. The moral, under the slapstick, is that blackmail is a kind of government and the people in it have already agreed to live there. The multiple endings are a stunt. The consistent fact is that nobody in the dining room is clean except the staff they keep suspecting.
Fun for adults who like a board game. Do not look here for a model of wit that a child should copy. The wit is panic.
Journal
Keep Clue in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 36. Yours can differ.
The glance
Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
The Silence of the Lambs
49 instead of 36
The Silence of the Lambs is still a crime film, and it scores 49 instead of 36. What you gain is courage: She goes down the hall.
The eight
- 4Industry
A staff that actually runs the house while the guests scheme.
- 2Household
Marriages are the blackmail material.
- 2Piety
None.
- 3Courage
They mostly accuse. Few of them are brave.
- 5Republic
Blackmail as a private government. The film thinks it is sordid, which is correct.
- 4Temperance
Lust and panic run the evening.
- 6Truth
Everyone is lying. The plot is the unpacking.
- 3Stewardship
Nothing is handed on but a punchline.
