Member Movie Reviews B.J. W. (analogkid01) from CHICAGO, IL Reviewed on 7/5/2025... The always-enjoyable Kelly Macdonald stars in Marc Turtletaub's 2018 film "Puzzle." She plays Agnes, a devoted, hardworking, and somewhat-unappreciated housewife to Louie (David Denman, who you know as Roy from The Office) - the opening scene shows her hosting a birthday party, serving guests, lighting candles, and cleaning up accidents while her husband smokes on the porch. Turns out it's her own birthday. One of her birthday gifts is a thousand-piece puzzle which she decides to complete one morning, which she does with surprising speed, and then takes it apart again. After coming home from a grocery shopping excursion, she completes the puzzle again. This inspires a puzzle passion in Agnes. It appeals to Agnes's rather analog nature - she eschews cell phones, attends church regularly, doesn't follow the news, and prefers trains over cars. But her newfound talent leads her to discover a whole community of puzzle-makers - and to Robert (the late Irrfan Khan from Life of Pi), who's looking for a partner in competitive "puzzling." (Cue scene where they both reach for the same piece and their hands touch.) Agnes and Louie have two grown sons, Gabe and Ziggy. The men all work together at Louie's auto shop, but Ziggy would rather be a chef. Turns out secret passions run in the family, and Agnes has to tell a few white lies to keep her passions secret. Macdonald delivers a believable performance of a woman coming out of her shell, and Denman, while still very Roy-like, plays a character with slightly more depth than you might expect out of the gate. It's a neat little film - a bit of rebellion, a bit of passion, a quirky premise, Kelly Macdonald...not too shabby, but also nothing too groundbreaking. And I don't like the ending. Grade: C+  Sandy M. (BritFlickFan) Reviewed on 6/18/2024... "Getting all the wrong pieces right." Stay-at-home mom Agnes (Kelly Macdonald) has spent her adult life taking care of others, losing her own identity in the process. That all changes with the gift of a jigsaw puzzle for her birthday. She discovers she not only has a real gift for puzzling but also a strong desire to pursue the hobby in a more serious way. Just as a jigsaw puzzle is solved decision by decision, so too Agnes begins to break out of her closed-off domestic shell decision by decision. Along the way, she transforms her vision of the woman she wants to be, profoundly changing not only her own life but the lives of her husband, her sons and her competitive puzzling partner in ways none of them expected. 2 of 2 member(s) found this review helpful.  Sharon F. (Shar) from AVON PARK, FL Reviewed on 6/15/2023... Not sure if this should be classified as a "coming of age" movie or a "mid-life crisis" movie. Either way, it was an interesting movie about caring for oneself and setting boundaries.
