Glass Onion is a 2022 mystery film starring Daniel Craig as a world-renowned detective Benoit Blanc. Inspired by Agatha Christie's books, the film is a sequel to 2019 Knives Out, which was an absolute blockbuster.

Miles Bron played by Edward Norton is a tech billionaire who has invited all of his douche friends to a private island in Greece for a murder mystery party. The bohemian "gang" consists of people of various occupations - from a scientist to a twitch streamer. Bored with the pandemic and isolation, Benoit becomes involved in a game that turns into a true crime where he has to investigate a murder.

It goes without saying that a piece of art nowadays needs to be more than just a film or a book, so Glass Onion does have a reason or two to compete with other representatives of the postmodern era with its vivid while at the same time subtle references to pop culture. One of the brightest examples - the character of Miles Bron whose portrayal was masterfully created by Edward Norton. In the very beginning it becomes obvious that the character represents Elon Musk with all his countless corporations. This hint is so on the surface, that I am suspiciously questioning myself - was he really supposed to be Elon Musk? Another remarkable allusion - Mona Lisa as a symbol of eternity and perfection. It is woven into the plot and connected with the present as never before, I dare say. Alluring, impeccable Daniel Craig was the best choice for the complicated part of an ingenious detective. Furthermore, witty dialogues and high-quality soundtracks added more to the mesmerizing acting.

I don't see any reasons to conceal - this work seems flawless to me, yet I will be glad to debate with anyone who doesn't agree up to this point. The film leaves you bewildered, and that is the charm. Apart from numerous visual effects and tiny details which can please even the most finicky viewer (pay attention to the background while watching), the authors deliberately make you want to re-watch the masterpiece, guaranteeing no less striking impression, especially because you will have the opportunity to put the details together and solve the puzzle. All the best art pieces deserve to be reconsidered, so Glass Onion is absolutely worth not only watching, but also re-watching.
