Today is finally the day, where I will be able to watch the second installment of Netflix’s “Knives Out”.
I loved the first movie! I was so excited to watch this one.
This movie starrs Daniel Craig, Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista, Janelle Monáe, Agetha from “Wandavision”, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., bugs from “Matrix”, Jessica Henwick, Ethan Hawke, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and so so many more people!
This movie was directed and written by Rian Johnson.
This movie was released on December 23rd 2022. It was rated PG-13 for language, violence, sexual material and drug use.
This movie is a Comedy/Crime/Drama/Thriller/Mystery.
Onto the premise: Famed Southern detective Benoit Blanc travels to Greece for his latest case.
Rian did it again! I have to say that I like this installment more than the first one.
I loved the absurdity and satire of this one.
I loved the twists and turns did movie had like especially the second act.
Still trying to process everything that happened in this one.
I just love Dave and Daniel so much those are such good actors.
One of the first major American movies released to acknowledge the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown of 2020 within its story.
This movie debuted at the “Toronto International Film Festival” and at the “London International Film Festival”.
How many layers can onions have??
I really liked in every act we got an answer to this question!
Glass Onion further proves Rian Johnson’s impressive credentials, matching it’s phenomenal predecessor in it’s quality delivering an equally strong sequel that tells an equally complex, funny and endlessly unpredictable narrative that’s designed for multiple viewings and is easily the best movie to be set during the pandemic.
Daniel Craig is perfect as Benoit Blanc, bringing back that beautiful accent and all the humour whilst still reminding us that he’s a truly good person. Janelle Monáe is the best out of the new cast, she shows so much range and makes for a great double act with Craig.
The rest of the cast are all really good at making their characters unlikeable and easy to laugh at but the strongest is Edward Norton whose clueless billionaire tech giant feels like a perfect and deliberate contrast to his iconic Fight Club character.
Rian Johnson’s direction is excellent, the movie surprisingly has a high amount of energy in its constant camera movements and is really good emphasising it’s star power through framing. The music by Nathan Johnson is also really good, with an eccentric bombast rarely heard these days.
Stay tuned for more reviews!
