Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Crooked House earns its spot. At its heart, Crooked House understands what makes crime drama work — character first, plot second.

Glenn Close and Max Irons lead a cast that gives the tension real weight. It hit screens in 2017. The plot mechanics of Crooked House never overwhelm the human cost underneath them. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they are after in Crooked House. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Glenn Close's performance is the kind that shows up on best-of lists years later.
