   Is a kind of murder a good movie?

   • A handsome period piece that plays more like a scant-clues mystery than like the psychological thriller it intends to be. Good source material does not guarantee a good movie, and A Kind of Murder, a new Highsmith adaptation directed by Andy Goddard from a screenplay by Susan Boyd, is not a good movie. Less cat-and-mouse than cat-and-mirror.

   What era is a kind of murder based on?

   • Relocated from the book’s 1950s setting to the early ’60s, “A Kind of Murder” revels in the era’s clothing (dapper suits, wide-brimmed hats, even wider-bottomed dresses) and decor, which is drenched in heavily suggestive lurid reds.
