Murder Behind The Curtain

About This Movie

Murder Behind The Curtain is a quirky blend of comedy and crime that plays out in a rather charmingly chaotic way. The story revolves around Lydia Walliser, a 90-year-old mystery writer who’s hit a serious creative block. Her sharp wit and high-society facade contrast sharply with her true nature, especially when her grandson Nick visits. The dynamic between the two is laced with tension and humor, showcasing their generational clash. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that gives it a certain charm—like watching a farcical play unfold. The practical effects and set design have a quaint, almost theatrical quality that enhances the atmosphere. Performances feel genuinely lived-in, particularly Lydia's, which makes the whole experience feel oddly relatable in its absurdity.
