Review of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) by Mattyice — 23 Dec 2022

As was the case with the first Knives Out movie, Glass Onion is a fun, witty, hilarious, and masterfully written and directed roller coaster ride. Although some of the charm of Rian Johnson’s whodunit style has worn off given it was already used in the first film, Glass Onion provides a vastly different story structure, setting, and cast of characters, all acted superbly (especially Janelle Monae, who truly showed her acting chops can match the power of her songwriting).

The film also ends up being equally funny, if not funnier, than the first one, as well as equally a great time. Somehow, some way, Glass Onion proves to be a sequel/spinoff that both differentiates from the original and improves on it in many ways, and is certainly worth a watch this holiday season.
