 An idiom, in language, conveys a figurative meaning different from its
literal interpretation. Idioms play a vital role in English, especially for learners and
speakers. This study focused on identifying and interpreting expressions in the
2019 movie "Knives Out." The researcher employed a qualitative descriptive
method, utilizing documentation and tabulation as supporting tools.
           The finding of the research revealed six types of idioms used in Knives
Out movies those are simile parable, euphemism, cliché, proverb, binomial, and
fix statement. The researcher found two sentences that contained similes
parables, two sentences of binomials, six sentences of proverbs, five sentences
of euphemism, seven sentences of cliché, and then 24 sentences of fixed
statements. Therefore, the researcher in this research has gathered information
aligning with the categories of idiomatic expressions identified in McCarthy's
investigation, which are simile's parable, euphemism, binomial, proverb, cliche,
and fixed statement.
 In this research, "Knives Out" features 46 idiomatic expressions in its
dialogue and narrative, enhancing audience engagement and serving multiple
purposes. The researcher hopes that this research will be a valuable resource for
English educators, a reference for students seeking idiom definitions, and an
