Nominated for Best Film at the 2019 Oscars, and boasting an incredible ensemble cast, Knives Out is both highly polished entertainment and politically subversive. But accusations fly when it’s revealed he left his entire estate to…his Latina nurse, Marta (Ana de Armas). Each household member provides their own account of the night’s events. Despite appearing as a suicide, private detective Benoit Blank is called in to investigate by an anonymous source. Knives Out begins with Harlan Thrombey dead, less than a day after his family gathered to celebrate his 85th birthday. Inspired by Agatha Christie’s detective novels, the whodunnit genre receives a modern makeover courtesy of writer-director Rian Johnson, whose own head-scratching style of film-making (Brick, Looper) meshes perfectly with her labyrinthine plots.
