Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)

What the critics said

Critics treated the sequel with approval. Rotten Tomatoes reported a 92% positive score in July 2023, while Metacritic assigned it an 81 out of 100 in October 2025. That second number suggests universal acclaim, a label that usually implies consensus. The consensus was that the mystery worked. Owen Gleiberman called it "a bigger, showier" shell game than the original. Christy Lemire noted the "precisely pointed digs" kept the film zippy. Some reviewers saw the billionaire characters as a thinly veiled sketch of real-world tech moguls. Rian Johnson called the timing a "horrible accident." The plot points to specific people, but the timing is a coincidence, apparently.
