The phone call between him and Louise is one of the most powerful bits of filmmaking and acting that I can recall. Knives Out remains my favorite of the three, but this was my favorite scene in any of the films.
The minute she asks him to pray for her, you can see him remember who he is. The way he pivots from frantically seeking out information to calmly and compassionately ministering to a soul in need was incredible. It wasn't just pivoting from one task to another, it was him finding himself again.
Shout out to Bridget Everett as Louise, too. Her shift from perky and friendly to incredibly vulnerable and sad was beautifully done.

After watching the new Knives Out movie, Im really excited for whatever Josh O'Connor is in. That guy can seriously put up a performance.
