Glass Onion adopts the sturdy structural underpinnings of the Agatha Christie-like whodunit, and presents them with an ingenious mix of postmodern irony and bona fide awe.

“Glass Onion” is completely silly, but it’s not only silly. Explicitly set during the worst months of the Covid pandemic — the spring of 2020 — “Glass Onion” leans into recent history without succumbing to gloom, bitterness or howling rage, which is no small accomplishment. One way to interpret the title is that a glass onion may be sharp, and may have a lot of layers, but it won’t make you cry.

Absolutely excellent. I enjoyed this even better than the first, the story was absolutely engaging and unpredictable. Janelle Monae did such a fantastic job truly an actress highlight of 2022 for me

Craig may be the main character, but “Glass Onion” belongs to Monáe. Johnson has scripted one hell of a role for her, and she plays it with such a wide range of emotions and tones while modeling a stunning array of power suits that she drops the audience’s jaws. Monae’s performance turns on a dime with whiplash precision, so when the film folds in on itself, we grab hold of her hand for dear life. She pulls us along with such glee that it makes one giddy.

The real star? Johnson’s crisply mischievous screenplay, which crams in so many laughs you almost don’t notice the occasional plot holes.
Sep 10, 2022
Even more than the first “Knives Out,” “Glass Onion” is a thriller wrapped in a deception tucked inside a riddle. It is, of course, a murder mystery with multiple suspects, but it’s one that comes with byways and flashbacks and bells and whistles, not to mention two whodunit homicides for the price of one.
Nov 22, 2022
Writer-director Rian Johnson’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is that plate of morsels in movie form, a breezy caper that mostly sustains its novelty, even if it stumbles a bit in the last third.
Sep 12, 2022
Johnson still does whodunits better than Kenneth Branagh’s horrid Agatha Christie adaptations he keeps torturing audiences with. Yet despite the giggles and the beefier budget — explosions, an exotic locale, massive sets — “Glass Onion” comes off slight.
Jan 9, 2024
Rian Johnson builds a clever mystery with Glass Onion. Yet unlike its predecessor, where the characters were amusingly devious, everyone here is despicable and completely unrelatable. These annoying and immature characters bring down an otherwise enjoyable mystery.

Poorly acted in most places and cliched in all others. Another case of Netflix paying for reviews on the internet. Universal acclaim with critics, a whole bunch of confused viewers who can't figure out why they're watching a B-movie mystery that's rated 81 by critics. Done with online reviews.
