NYT Crossword Answers for March 5, 2026
THURSDAY PUZZLE — I love a good Thursday. The baffling special graphics, the wait-that-can’t-be-right puzzlement and that glorious ah-ha moment when everything clicks.

I’m aware, though, that not everyone shares my love of Thursdays.

A ★★★★★ review of Wake Up Dead Man (2025)
Wake Up Dead Man ★★★★★ Liked I absolutely adore Rian Johnson's Benoit Blanc films. Knives Out tackled the rot at the core of inherited wealth, Glass Onion focused on the artifice of new tech money and now Wake Up Dead Man the hypocrisy and cruelty of organized religion. Johnson's whodunits aren't meant to be guessed, they're meant to be experienced.
A ★★★★★ review of Wake Up Dead Man (2025)
Wake Up Dead Man ★★★★★ Liked A film so applicable to our current societal landscape Netflix said, “We can’t have this in theaters too long.” Most certainly the densest entry into this wonderful whodunnit franchise and just might be my favorite. It presents so many thoughtful ideas when it comes to the weaponizing of faith but what I found most impactful is the relation of faith to the power of storytelling.

A ★★★½ review of Wake Up Dead Man (2025)
Wake Up Dead Man ★★★½ Can I be honest…this did not move me. I truly adored the first Knives Out, i even liked Glass Onion (although my feelings on it in the ensuing years have cooled) but my main gripe with this series is still thus; that I think Rian Johnson could write a perfect murder mystery if he just stopped focusing on how to twist and subvert the genre and just focus on writing an engaging crime, with an equally engaging cast.

It currently holds a Certified Fresh rating of 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 238 reviews.
A ★★★★ review of Wake Up Dead Man (2025)
Wake Up Dead Man ★★★★ Far more focused on engaging in genuine discussion than the previous 2 in the franchise. Particularly on Rian Johnson's own pessimism regarding his faith-driven past and the immense hypocrisy inherent in organisations. A call for compassion to be had within corruptible environments. Although I don't think the central mystery itself is as strong as the first, there’s just so much thought here.
‘Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery’ Movie Review: Another Darkly Enticing Benoit Blanc Investigation With Terrific Performances From Daniel Craig and Josh O’Connor (LatestLY Exclusive) | 🎥 LatestLY
Wake Up Dead Man A Knives Out Mystery Movie Review: Rian Johnson’s trilogy of Knives Out films is not merely a set of stylish Agatha Christie-coded who-(or how-and-why)-dunnits; it is also a running commentary on the world’s fraying social dynamics.
"Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery"
For en tid å leve i, sier en av figurene i «Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery». Regissør Rian Johnsons tredje film med mesterdetektiven Benoit Blanc, fremdeles like strålende spilt av en opplagt Daniel Craig, er da også basert på tendenser man godt kan kjenne igjen fra vår egen samtid. Det handler om menneskers påfallende trang til å følge karismatiske ledere, uansett hvor falske de fremstår sett utenfra.
