Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery

I wasn't even aware that this movie existed! I really enjoyed the first Knives Out, and followed the release schedule for Glass Onion, but somehow this never came up in suggestions or feed.
I found this movie through a youtube suggestion, FilmSpeak | when the director challenges your beliefs. From the thumbnail and the title, I thought this would be something similar to The Green Knight, but was pleasantly surprised to find another Knives Out!
There are many great scenes and dialogues in this movie, but this is my favorite
You're right, it's storytelling. This church, it isn't medieval, we're in New York. It's neo-Gothic, nineteenth century. Has more in common with Disneyland than Notre Dame. And the rites and rituals, the costumes, all of it. Storytelling. You're right. I guess the question is, do the sestories convince us of a lie, or do they resonate with something inside us that's profoundly true. That maybe we can't express any other way. Than storytelling.
Rian Johnson puts all scripts for his movies on website, so it made finding the quote very easy ! Link to script
