Kenneth Branagh has been directing Hercule Poirot films for six years now. At this point, his star-studded Agatha Christie adaptations feel more like passion projects than his own pseudo-biopic – the lukewarm Troubles-set drama Belfast – did, and his third entry in the mystery series is no exception. Loosely based on the poorly received late-era Christie novel Hallowe’en Party

A Haunting in Venice is a delightfully bizarre, raucously entertaining sequel. It plays like a standalone remake of some low-budget TV special that never was, while also building on the intimate mythology Branagh has built for his version of the extravagantly mustachioed detective, in a very good film that often threatens to be great, and outshines both of its predecessors.
