Rian Johnson films have a slight tendency to insist on their own cleverness at times. That's not to detract from the cleverness of the film, instead it is to say that they do like to show you just how clever they really are.

Glass Onion is undoubtedly a smart and slick film, with almost every plot point hinted to or referenced during the film. What a lot of reviewers are missing, I feel, is that the fun of the film lies within the confusion. Its a film that benefits from re-watches and it has a stellar cast who all seem to really enjoy their roles.

Where it falls down somewhat is the fear factor as the villain, unlike the original, isn't drawn up to be a menace and so there isn't really a lot of worry that they will come unstuck once they are exposed. That being said, it doesn't make the reveal any less exciting.

Pay attention, carefully watch each and every interaction and then watch it again. You'll find enticing characters, a fun premise and a satisfying ending.
