The first movie got a straight 8, this one, did entertain me too (despite some lengthy parts) - but compared to the first movie, Glass Onion is for sure a big step in the wrong direction (for my taste) - it reminds me a lot of those mediocre attempts of Kenneth Brannagh's to revive Hercule Poirot. This kind of drama is a global phenomenon now,” said James Prichard, chairman and chief executive of Agatha Christie Ltd and the author’s great-grandson. The story is set in May 2020, with everyone, especially Blanc, stir-crazy during the Covid lockdown. The very premise of an anonymous invitation reminded fans of the franchise about how Ransom anonymously hired Benoit to solve the mystery behind his grandfather's murder in Knives Out.

The other thing that gets me genuinely excited is Knives Out and Glass Onion are so different, and that’s something that harkens back to Christie in another way. Before dinner, Miles shows off his glass sculpture collection, as well as the Mona Lisa, which he has on loan from the Louvre. So, Dial A For Aunties is less of a murder mystery than it is a murder cover-up, but the unhinged Glass Onion energy is definitely there! Curious to learn what Rian’s outrageously entertaining sequel is competing against at the 95th Oscars? Hopefully, the next one focuses again more on a complex crime case and its build up and last but not least, a real interesting and surprising ending like the first one got.

Less a traditional sequel than the second installment in a narratively cohesive universe, Glass Onion has its roots in Johnson’s longtime love affair with Agatha Christie, whose most famous character, Detective Hercule Poirot, drops into no less than 33 novels — all with different tones, structures and plots. So Blanc was always outside of the sphere of our protagonist and was a little bit more of an enigma in the first movie. He can appear bumbling on occasions but in no doubt has a brilliant mind, as he was able to tell right away that Marta Cabrera had something to do with Harlan's death.

Glass Onion is set during the height of the Covid pandemic, meaning there are plenty of nods to coronavirus throughout. This is seen in Glass Onion as Benoit and audiences alike realize that Miles' murder mystery game maps out much of the film's narrative. Miles Bron himself is pretending to be a technological and business genius while he is nothing but a thief that stole all his ideas from Andi. In keeping with its more coastal vacation vibes, the new film trades in Knives Out’s creaky Massachusetts mansion for a billionaire’s compound in Greece. Blanc states that he thinks it's cotton, as it is seemingly linen or linen blend, this comment is likely an example of his "southern hokum" which he uses to distract and cause people to underestimate him.For more behind-the-scenes insights, tune in to this week’s Skip Intro on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
