I have to give Rian Johnson credit, he's managed to do it again. For a second consecutive film, Johnson has turned the murder mystery genre on its head to provide an uproariously entertaining, original detective film.

While it isn't quiiite as much of a breath of fresh air as the first film, Glass Onion still manages to feel wholly distinct from its predecessor while keeping me thoroughly enthralled for 140 minutes. We get to see some different layers of Benoit Blanc and a completely unique approach to this mystery. Johnson drops clue after clue for those paying attention that pay off in satisfying fashion.

There are so many incredible references to events that occur later in the film. You really have to read a thread after watching to fully appreciate all of the brilliant little details. I for one enjoyed the climax and found it to be a fun way to break the mold of typical conclusions to these types of films.

Glass Onion is one of the best and most enjoyable films of the year. I can't wait to see what Johnson has in store for the capper of his Detective Blanc trilogy.
