8.5/10 stinky bananas
Very good movie. I love a good whodunit. I hope Rian Johnson makes a million of these.
Glass Onion is a fun movie done right. Everything is well executed. The lead-up to the murder scene and the immediate aftermath is extremely anxiety inducing. My heart was beating out of my chest. Very frantic. Also, I love a good wrap-up / big reveal montage. It gets me going.
P.S. the outfits in this movie are excellent. Whoever was in charge of costume design for Glass Onion should certainly get an Oscar or a Golden Globe or whatever the fuck.
I got gripes. I got big gripes.
Gripe #1 - The way Andi found the original napkin at her house is incredibly stupid. She knocks over a book case and BOOM there it is. How convenient. That's some lazy writing. Maybe, it bothers me more than it should, but it still bother me. Sue me. Henceforth, the gripe remains.
Gripe #2 - Why the FUCK is Helen holding the original napkin right in front of Edward Norton's face? She was asking for it to get swiped from her (or burned in this case). It is the only piece of physical evidence you have to clear your sister's name and you're being all loosey goosey with it. You might want to keep that one a little closer to the vest, ya jackass.
Gripe #3 - This is the smallest of the three gripes, but it is a gripe nonetheless. The cameos are strange. They messed with my head. I thought for sure that Ethan Hawke was going to come back and factor into the mystery. Nope. He shot a COVID gun into people's throats and then fucked off. I don't think you can have cameos in a movie like this. I don't like it.
Everybody has seen this movie already, so I won't bother telling anybody to see it. Bye.
