A sprawling manor home, a wealthy multi-generational idiosyncratic family, and a dead patriarch whose death involves, in part, mixed-up medications? No, we’re not talking about “Knives Out.” We’re talking about “Crooked House.”

When Aristide Leonides (Gino Picciano) dies, his granddaughter, Sophia (Stefanie Martini), is convinced that not only was it murder but that it was likely murder committed by a member of the family. She hires Charles Hayward (Max Irons), with whom she had a brief affair, to investigate. While evidence makes it clear that Aristide’s second much younger wife, Brenda (Christina Hendricks), and her lover are the likely murderers, Charles remains unconvinced. Even his skepticism can’t prepare him for the truth, though.

Another way this film mirrors “Knives Out” is the sheer number of recognizable actors. In addition to Hendricks, the cast boasts Glenn Close, Terence Stamp, Gillian Anderson, and Julian Sands. While not yet a name, Honor Kneafsey is excellent as youngest granddaughter Josephine, the family spy who mocks Charles’ inability to solve the crime with the kind of infuriating tone only a 12-year-old can pull off.
