While 2019’s Knives Out was a leaner, meaner beast, rife with resentment towards liberal hypocrisy in the Trump era, its sequel Glass Onion shakes off some of its internal hypocrisy. Knives Out may have bottled a cultural moment, but Glass Onion seems built for longevity: it’s populist entertainment with its head screwed on right. Glass Onion is packed with celebrity cameos, jokes about “Jared Leto’s hard kombucha”, and those pointless mesh face masks favoured by the privileged and reckless. And, with Glass Onion, his creator’s ambitions are made concrete – Rian Johnson is here to have fun, but that shouldn’t come at the expense of a social conscience.
