Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)

Steph:

I love films that make fun of rich people, and Glass Onion treats them as especially stupid, with Edward Norton playing a character whose entire fortune was built on the ideas of others—how very Musk and Trump-like—and the film’s portrayal of his idiotic sycophants is hilarious, not to mention Janelle Monáe’s kickass performance, which, among so many other strong moments, was the highlight of the film for me. ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰

Josh:

As Public Enemy once told us, “Don’t believe the hype,” and here’s another great story about storytelling, and how much depends upon who gets to tell the story, and it doubles, so to speak, as a satisfying fantasy of comeuppance, and yes, give Janelle Monae all of the awards. ⏰⏰⏰⏰
