This is a great film, and a triumphant sequel to an excellent introduction. I think there are three things working against it. The first is people's familiarity with Knives Out. Secondly, there's some aesthetic choices that are very specific to Netflix's films that cause certain sequences to look cheap, and finally, people's implicit biases towards the central character influencing their judgment. Otherwise I would say this movie has a stronger rewatch value than the first, and the performances with the dialog really make it so much more fun. I love the way Janelle and Daniel play off each other, and it's such a shift from the world of the first movie, that it really feels fresh. In Glass Onion, Rian Johnson really plays with perception, in the set-up of the mystery, but also in character development. He really challenges the audience to have faith in reality, and to see past the ways people use language, appearance, and ideology to distract from the truth of their actions. These films are modern classics, and with the release of Glass Onion, Rian is setting a precedents for them getting better and better with each subsequent release. I can't wait to see the next installment.
