Jamie Lee Curtis has had quite the few months. Last fall, she returned to fictional Haddonfield, Illinois for "Halloween Kills," the latest in the long, Michael Myers horror saga about the white-masked murder who just won't die (but wants everyone else to). Earlier in 2022, she had a memorable role in "Everything Everywhere All At Once," the Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheiner-directed Michelle Yeoh film that will cause you never to look at googly eyes (or bagels, or rocks) the same way again.
Curtis' performance in "Everything" is no less than astonishing. She plays Dierdre, an overworked, under-caring and deeply weird IRS auditor. At least, in one dimension. In another, Dierdre is a loving spouse and very talented pianist who has hot dog fingers. In another, she's a raging cultist. That's a lot for anyone to handle, let alone all in the same film.
