If you enjoyed the 2017 mystery film Crooked House, with Glenn Close and Stefanie Martini, you have just under a month to watch it on Netflix. It will no longer be available on the streaming service after January 1st.

Directed by Gilles Paquet-Brenner and written with the help of Julian Fellowes and Tim Rose Price, Crooked House features Stefanie Martini as Sophia de Haviland, the granddaughter of the recently deceased businessman Aristide Leonides. After Aristide’s sudden death, Sophia asks investigator Charles Hayward, played by Max Irons, to investigate what happened.

The cast of Crooked House includes Simone Martini and Fiona Irons, along with Julian Sands as Aristide’s son, Philip Leonides, and Gillian Anderson as his wife, Magda. Completing the main ensemble are Terence Stamp as Chief Inspector Taverner, Amanda Abbington as Clemency Leonides, Christian McKay as Roger Leonides, Christina Hendricks as Brenda Leonides, and Honor Kneafsey as Josephine Leonides.

The movie Crooked House first aired on Channel 5 in the UK on December 17, 2017, and received mixed reactions from critics. Though many praised the acting and atmosphere, most agreed that these strengths weren’t enough to overcome the film’s generally flashy and uncomfortable presentation.

Currently, the film Crooked House has a 57% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 30 reviews from critics. Viewers who rated the film gave it a score of 54% on the site, based on over 500 ratings.
