Glass Onion
Stream
World-famous detective Benoit Blanc heads to Greece to peel back the layers of a mystery surrounding a tech billionaire and his eclectic crew of friends.
What critics thought
Rian Johnson's follow-up to Knives Out landed as a broadly acclaimed whodunit with sharp satirical teeth, skewering tech-bro hubris and celebrity vanity with enough wit to keep most critics delighted. The film drew immediate real-world comparisons to Elon Musk and other billionaire figures, lending it a cultural resonance that reviewers found both pointed and a little eerie. Where critics diverged was on depth versus spectacle — some felt the elaborate puzzle-box plotting was dazzling, while others sensed it occasionally threatened to collapse under its own showiness.
“a bigger, showier, even more elaborately multi-faceted shell-game mystery”
Owen Gleiberman·Variety
“The clever details, amusing name-drops, and precisely pointed digs at vapid celebrity culture keep Johnson's movie zippy when it threatens to drag.”
Christy Lemire·RogerEbert.com
“Glass Onion is never anything less than entertaining, with its succession of A-lister and A-plus-lister cameos popping up all over the place. And Johnson uncorks an absolute showstopper of a flashback a half-hour or so into the action, which then unspools back up to the present day, giving us all manner of cheeky POV-shift reveals.”
Peter Bradshaw·The Guardian
“observing the absurd privileges of wealth and skewering the ignorance of the 1 percent”
