Agatha

Set in England in 1926, the film opens when celebrated mystery writer Agatha Christie vanishes without a trace. An intrepid American journalist arrives determined to uncover what happened, turning a baffling missing-person case into a sharper inquiry of motives and myths. As he interviews friends, family, and townsfolk, layers of rumor collide with the measured public persona of a woman whose own fiction complicates the search for truth.

Blending period atmosphere and investigative suspense, the movie becomes as much a study of celebrity, identity, and the burdens of storytelling as it is a detective story. It teases out the tensions in Agatha’s personal life and the fevered press coverage of the era, ultimately offering a poignant, ambiguous portrait that invites viewers to decide how much of the mystery is performance and how much is real. The result is a thoughtful, elegantly mounted drama that keeps the question of what really happened at its heart.
