As our review from the Toronto International Film Festival makes abundantly clear, Rian Johnson’s Knives Out is all the evidence Hollywood needs to let its A-list directors pursue their “low-budget” passion projects in between the studio tentpoles. “[A]n ingenious sleight-of-hand crowdpleaser” is how we described Johnson’s Agatha Christie-aping murder-comedy, which tasks Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette, and Lakeith Stanfield with figuring out who killed a beloved author played by Christopher Plummer.
