Confusing plot

Spanish film with people brought on a yacht by Olivia (Maribel Vertu), including her sister Sonia (Stephanie Cayo), a detective.Olivia announced that she has a surprise for all of them. Shortly afterward she falls to her death.Since the yacht is between two jurisdictions, Sonia works on the case - who killed her sister, and why have all these people been gathered here?This is a convoluted story - the people are connected by a tragedy that took place in Olivia's and then-husband Carlos' life. The ex is also on the yacht, along with Olivia's nemesis, a yoga instructor, a housekeeper, a workman, and later on, a detective.We aren't given much to go on. At the end, Sonia, with everyone gathered together in true mystery style, reveals the elaborate plot.This plot was complicated, and I'm not really sure how Sonia figured it out.It's not horrible, but it has no intensity or interesting atmosphere. We don't get to know the people very well.

Enjoyable Light Mystery

A bunch of quirky personalities are assembled at an exclusive Mexican location only to realize there may be a killer in their midst. So right away we know this is a NAFTA-knockoff of Agatha Christie; and it's more or less what you'd expect. The cast is charming and the movie maintains an affable darkly-comedic tone. There are two major flaws. First the movie extols the viewer to follow along and solve the mystery; but it doesn't provide enough information and the solution relies on flashback exposition dumps. Second it spends far too little time setting up the mystery and potential red herrings; and far too much time on explicating the resolution. Overall reasonably enjoyable but not as good as it could or should have been.

A lighter mystery for fans of Glass Onion ilk.

Gorgeous remote seaside backdrop for a film that is Similar to Glass Onion and Then Then There Were None, but lighter and Mexican. The acting was decent and I think cosy mystery fans and hardcore fans of Glass Onion might like this.The story follows true crime podcaster Agatha as she is invited with five other acquaintances to an evening at her half-sister's seaside estate. On the first evening her sister, Olivia, plummets to her death while they are all onboard for a dinner and overnight at her bequest. Olivia is an eccentric millionaire and at the dinner she announced someone was going to be murdered, Agatha just didn't believe it would be her sister. Now Agatha along with a rookie cop is determined to solve her murder...luckily all the suspects are trapped at their seaside location.I loved the secret doors and the revelations about their past...along with some decent detective work, but this is definitely on the lighter side of sleuthing.My review is based on watching this film in it's original Spanish language with English subtitles.
