Review | 'Everyone in Rian Johnson’s 'Glass Onion' the sequel to his unexpectedly delightful 2019 murder mystery 'KnivesOut,' seems to be having a blast — especially the highly accomplished director.' (via thknwco)
when he made “Knives Out,” and it was a straightforward lark by comparison. But amid its fleet humor, it had a dizzying cast and labyrinthine plot, and its sturdy charms have only grown with repeated viewings.
Also invited to the gathering, and mysteriously so: Blanc. He’s idle at the start of the movie, playing Among Us on his laptop with his famous buddies, who happen to be the late Angela Lansbury and Stephen Sondheim and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. It’s the set-up for a number of mischievous cameos and references to actors like Jeremy Renner and Jared Leto , but the focus always remains on the ensemble.
Besides Craig and Norton, there’s Janelle Monáe as tech entrepreneur Cassandra “Andi” Brand; Kate Hudson as party-girl Birdie Jay; Dave Bautista as conservative Twitch personality Duke Cody; Kathryn Hahn as Connecticut governor Claire Debella; Leslie Odom Jr. as uneasy scientist Lionel Toussaint; Madelyn Cline as Duke’s girlfriend Whiskey; and Jessica Henwick as Birdie’s frazzled assistant. Each is as funny and committed as they’ve ever been, and that’s saying a lot.
“Glass Onion” opens in a specific moment in time, insulating its spray of pop culture and social media references from seeming stale. Its dialogue takes aim at Twitter and NFT fails, mindless racism and class conflicts. But its characters are written with classic Hollywood flair of a Preston Sturges or Billy Wilder screwball comedy . The audience is never smarter than Blanc, but the cadre of self-important “disruptors,” as Bron calls them, are a three-ring circus of ineptitude.
