I had the opportunity of watching Glass Onion at TIFF Lightbox. Initially, wanting to wait for it to drop on Netflix, I gave in to a friend's request.

And this movie turned out to be a breezy entertainer. The screenplay, I would say was tight until the last 10 minutes, with the first half serving as a thriller and the second half adding a bit of emotional drama to it.

I have mixed feelings about the climax, because in retrospect it was a bit too obvious, but upon further pondering, I realized that it perfectly justified the title, Glass Onion as explained in the movie.

The dialogues in the movie packed a punch and made me chuckle multiple times throughout.

The cinematography is decent, not something that can not be enjoyed on your computer screens.

And finally, acting. This had a great ensemble cast. Daniel Craig was much better than the prequel as Benoit Blanc. Absolute delight!

Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista & Kathryn Hahn were all very good too in their respective roles.

But, the star for me, was Janelle Monáe! I really didn't expect anyone to outshine Daniel Craig, but she absolutely did!

Not to forget, a couple of great cameos that livened the entire house-full theatre with laughs.

To summarize, a well-executed murder mystery with a puzzle that the viewers will enjoy solving.
