Benoit Blanc returns to peel back the layers in a new Rian Johnson whodunit. This fresh adventure finds the intrepid detective at a lavish private estate on a Greek island, but how and why he comes to be there is only the first of many puzzles. Blanc soon meets a distinctly disparate group of friends gathering at the invitation of billionaire Miles Bron for their yearly reunion. Among those on the guest list are Miles’ former business partner Andi Brand, current Connecticut governor Claire Debella, cutting-edge scientist Lionel Toussaint, fashion designer and former model Birdie Jay and her conscientious assistant Peg, and influencer Duke Cody and his sidekick girlfriend Whiskey. As in all the best murder mysteries, each character harbors their own secrets, lies and motivations. When someone turns up dead, everyone is a suspect. Returning to the franchise he began, Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Rian Johnson writes and directs Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and assembles another all-star cast that includes a returning Daniel Craig alongside Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline with Kate Hudson and Dave Bautista.

Merry Xmas & Happy Holidays Movie Lovers! 🎅🎄

Another subtle hint is the "smoke free garden" because the entire island is a combustible hydrogen bomb.

Blanc's weakness is dumb things. It's why Miles is such a difficult villain for him. Blanc sees a 4D chess board but Miles is only playing checkers. Dumb mysteries are Blanc's kryptonite.

[katiefox]

Something I noticed is that Blanc said the puzzle box was filled with childish games while the others called it Miles's genius, more hints to who Miles really is

[jaikandola]

The scene at the end where everyone puts their hand up and decides to remember what Miles did is another nod to the game 'Clue'. People started yelling 'I saw Miles with the gun', just like in the game

The actress who plays Helen/Andi is so good that I knew something was up in the beginning because I literally said to my mom “Oooh.. someone died. That’s not rage, she’s sad. That’s sad anger.” and it felt so good to be right. Kudos to the actress for portraying that subtle difference that helped me piece together that something wasn’t right.

[dianegelder]

Saw this in a theater first time and began to notice that “Andi’s” part in her hair wasn’t always on the same side. When it’s Helen, the part is on her right. When it’s Andi, the part is on her left.
On the second viewing, this appears to be consistent.
With identical twins, often they are mirror images of one another.
I’m hoping to try to detect if one is right handed and the other left handed on another viewing, which might be another trait of identical, but mirrored, twins.

I think the most obvious foreshadowing/signposting for me were: 1) Peg not allowing Birdie Jay to have a phone, hinting at the importance of phones in the story, 2) Duke not being able to have pineapple which is a random allergy to add to a script unless it means something, 3) Duke being the least sympathetic character so you don't grieve his loss and allowing the pace of the film to continue with barely a pause, 4) the repeated references to the Hindenberg as a clue how the climax of the film would end in an explosion.

The biggest one was the names on the glasses. Peg gets a plain red cup which she later writes her name on, even though she is the only one not drinking from a glass so it is obviously hers. Andi has a glass with her name on, as hers, Dukes and Miles glass all look the same. And all are involved in poisoning. The close up on the names made it clear that who was drinking from which glass was important. I was so focussed on that I noticed the glass switch first time round, and knew immediately what was about to happen. Interestingly Miles switches to red wine later. Blanc doesn't have a named glass as he wasn't expected.

I love the whole "no phone" part as well because one of the big tell-tale signs in the first Knives Out which indicated Ransom was the killer is that he was using an Android (Apple has a clear rule that no villain can use an apple product) so eagle-eyed fans picked up on that early in the movie essentially allowed them to know the ending/have the plot ruined for them. This time around the villain himself had no phone at all! quite fun and little nod to the first movie :)

[coreytoomey]

“It was so dumb.”
“Dumb, but brilliant…”
“No, it was just dumb!”

Blanc was such a savage in this movie.

[DroseraNara]

Andi dies from asphyxiation. Like Blanc said, Miles never had to SEE her die, so it's not that far-fetched for Andi to have woken up and gotten out of the garage before that could happen.

The most obvious reference: When they arrive at the island, Miles is playing Blackbird, which Paul wrote in the 60s about the strife of Black women during that period. Reflecting the struggles Andi went through in corporate America to get the credit she deserved for inventing Alpha and how she was discredited. Also, Glass Onion is a Beatles song that appears to have layers of complexity but was written as a parody by Paul. Miles then proceeds to break the guitar, symbolizing the destruction of the glass onion in the final third of the movie.

[thisisthisis]

My favorite bit in the whole thing was “I know from experience that an anonymous invitation is not to be trifled with” I think it’s the only reference to the last movie

[austinlim]

I love how rain Johnson mentions that a villain cannot have an iPhone and then proceeds to not give the main villain a phone at all.

[monicarenee]

One thing was the way Helen/Andi just bashed open the box while the rest of the crew solved the puzzle. At first I thought it was because she just didn’t feel like going through all that and was kind of an “outcast” of the group, but in reality it was her twin sister who opened it, who would have had no idea what the box should be. It makes perfect sense she wouldn’t know any other way to open it

[jmclane]

Not a lot of people mentioning one of the biggest tells(upon second viewing),

The invitation was to “Solve the mystery of Miles’ Murder”

Once again, hiding in mind blowingly dumb plain sight lol

[jjwhittle]

A nice touch I spotted was the fugue angle - we're told that the music in the puzzle box is a fugue, which repeats the pattern of the music over itself to reveal new things; this is what the movie does, repeating the story but from different POVs revealing a new plot. This is a take on the Rashamon structure which Johnson used in The Last Jedi.

[Dilligff]

Couple other things to note: Following the greek lore tie-ins you missed the more obvious one of them literally being on a private island in Greece. The other was his art piece in his office with the ghost box that was of fairly simple design but gave off the illusion of infinite complexity.

[xmung]

The cameo from Serena Williams was hilarious…😄

[darinsingleton]

I think that Helen smashing up Miles' puzzle-box is also probably a nod to Alexander the Greats' methodology of solving the Gordian Knot.
