Too Much Pineapple: A Glass Onion Review

Rian Johnson's Glass Onion is an admirable sequel to Knives Out, but does it meet the standard set by its predecessor? The answer is... complicated.

Really great review! I broadly felt the same about the movie. To me in comparing Knives Out to Glass Onion, I dont think Glass Onion is necessarily a worse movie. Id more say that i think Glass Onion is better if you're in the mood for a romp. I also felt like Glass Onion really tapped into the residue of Mass BLM into Post Mass BLM pandemic dynamics, but by doing so I do agree it feels a little less timeless. I do also like the juxtaposition between the two movies and how that kinda works as conversation between 'new money' and 'old money'. I think those dynamics might help to better define Janelle Monáe's characters. Right now, while thinking on Knives Out and Glass Onion I can't help but wonder what the fact that both of the main rich guys from the stories are interested in setting up games, and both groups are primed towards it. I grew up fairly affluent/adjacent to power and it makes me think of growing up being told by my family, "You gotta play the game."
