The Sheep Detectives review: Agatha Christie meets talking sheep in this charming mystery | Movie-review News

The Sheep Detectives movie review: You can’t pull the wool over these sheep’s eyes, that’s for sure. This adaptation of the bestseller novel Three Bags Full by author Leonie Swann, about a flock of them solving the murder of their shepherd, may sound meh. And cutesy talking animals are often a blah. However, it is surprising how meaty this story, set in a quaint English village called Denbrook, turns out to be in director Kyle Balda and scriptwriter Craig Mazin’s hands, with all the charms and notes of an Agastha Christie mystery. Balda, incidentally, has Minions and Despicable Me 3 in his portfolio, while Mazin – surprise, surprise – was a writer on Chernobyl and The Last of Us. Follow the clues… as the best detective novels advise. And the sheep do the same. They have a picture perfect (literally) life as the flock of shepherd George (Jackman), who has given all of them names and keeps them well-fed and looked after with a medical concoction he has himself devised. Every evening, George gathers his …
