February Film: Knives Out



As an antidote to these freezing February days, we're going to see a comedy that arrived in Toronto a few weeks ago: Knives Out. Apologies if you've already seen it. I've chosen it for us because there is currently little else out there that's screening in our Tuesday matinee time slot. I'm told by reliable sources that it's a hoot. Also, it's nominated for an Oscar in the Best Original Screenplay category. So we'll know whether it won by the time we watch it.

We'll see Knives Out at the Yonge/Dundas Cineplex on Tuesday, February 11, at the 2:30 pm matinee.

SYNOPSIS: When renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) dies just after his 85th birthday, the inquisitive and debonair Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) arrives at his estate to investigate. From Harlan's dysfunctional family to his devoted staff, Blanc sifts through a web of red herrings and self-serving lies to uncover the truth behind Thrombey's untimely demise. Also starring Don Johnson, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Toni Collette.
