"Glass Onion - A Knives Out Mystery" (2022) Directed by Rian Johnson #thebeatles

Glass Onion, so named as a homage to the magnificent Beatles song of the same name as well as the futuristic James Bond villainous lair in which this Cluedo style murder mystery takes place, is a sequel to the highly popular Knives Out from 2019 and although also directed by the man who helmed its predecessor, Rian Johnson, is simply not a patch on its original inspiration. That’s not to say that Glass Onion isn’t a good film, it is, and perfect holiday fare for all the family. I just picked holes from the very beginning and found myself playing catch up on a film I’d been eagerly awaiting to see for a long time and this rather spoiled my enjoyment and not even the unexpected and gear crunching cameo of Hugh Grant midway through could save my overall appreciation of a film I really hoped to enjoy far, far more than I did.
