Review of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) by Gratefulr — 27 Nov 2022
This movie is a massive disappointment considering it departs from everything that made the original movie a near perfect murder mystery. The central idea of the movie is a glass onion, something that seems like it has many layers, while at the same time you can see the center clearly from the beginning.
That is the premise they used for the mystery, but what they failed to think through is that just leaves you with a boring and predictable story that has to be carried by the over the top extravagance that ruins the immersion.
While it is still a pretty movie, the scope undermines whatever pretty shots and cinematography that carried over from the original. More and more Craig's character felt like the only change from Agatha Christie's creation was a change of accent.
