Benoit Blanc returns to peel back the layers in a new Rian Johnson whodunit. This fresh adventure finds the intrepid detective at a lavish private estate on a Greek island, but how and why he comes to be there is only the first of many puzzles. Blanc soon meets a distinctly disparate group of friends gathering at the invitation of billionaire Miles Bron for their yearly reunion. Among those on the guest list are Miles' former business partner Andi Brand, current Connecticut governor Claire Debella, cutting-edge scientist Lionel Toussaint, fashion designer and former model Birdie Jay and her conscientious assistant Peg, and influencer Duke Cody and his sidekick girlfriend Whiskey. As in all the best murder mysteries, each character harbors their own secrets, lies and motivations. When someone turns up dead, everyone is a suspect.

Audience Says

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery solves the often deadly riddle of how to deliver a satisfying sequel to a movie that was nearly perfect to begin with.

Nell Minow

Movie Mom

A deliciously twisty remix of the classic British-style murder mystery, with a fabulous location and a group of suspects who all have motive and opportunity. Also like its predecessor, it has an all-star cast clearly enjoying themselves enormously.

Rated: A-

Glass Onion is a perfect reminder that great art need not be serious. Sometimes, it’s just about having fun. If you look closely, even the Mona Lisa is smiling just a little.

Blanc is bland, and despite all its bells and whistles, so is the movie.

Loud and Clear Reviews

Stands on its own as a great movie that continues what we love about the original without retreading or losing what made it so fresh.

Rated: 4/5

Pop Culture Reviews

Towards the end of the film, Blanc, annoyed and full of fervor, declares that it’s “all so dumb.” I couldn’t help but wonder if he, right there in that moment, could somehow read my mind.

Rated: 2.5/5

Like the glass onion atop Miles’ vacation home, the Knives Out sequel is both intricately layered and deceptively simple.

What a fun film! The cast was an absolute delight. Especially Kate Hudson who was unrecognizable. Definitely worth a re-watch.

Great cast. Great acting. Good direction. Story line and mystery was just not as engaging as first movie, which I loved. Still looking forward to more Benoit Blanc mystery movies in the future
