Glass Onion Review

Review of Glass Onion (2022) by screenqueeen: 👍 3.5/5

I like these. It's essentially telling you that there may seem to be lots of moving parts but it isn't necessarily hiding how absurdly simple it all is, per the box metaphor. Gets a little clumsy for its own good but there's a nugget of warning in here that will likely be heeded by those who recognize the self-labeling disruptors, yet misunderstood by those who buy into that idea and take it as endorsement.

It's not well-oiled enough to make all this smoothly palatable or even seemingly complex but there's a lightness Johnson brings to his direction of his own writing (which is its own thing) that's refreshing in a way. I'd take a half dozen more of these than a marathon of Branagh Poirot vehicles no matter what.
