Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery has started streaming on Netflix. This American mystery film has been directed and penned by Rian Johnson. A sequel to the 2019 film Knives Out, this film promised to be even more thrilling than the previous one. Daniel Craig is again seen in the lead role as Benoit Blanc. He takes up a new case here to work on. Along with Craig, the film also has actors like Edward Norton, Janelle Monae, Kate Hudson and Dave Bautista, etc.

Now that the film is streaming on Netflix, here is what people are saying after watching it:

In an interview director, Johnson revealed how he went ahead with this story for the film. Talking about how he convinced himself and others he said, “There were a couple of things I was kind of entertaining. One of them was a bigger, more meta, even more meta, wacky idea, which I won’t pitch in case I want to use it down the line, I don’t want to spoil it.”

He further added, “But no, I don’t know. That is one thing that could be a potential trap of these especially, thinking like, “Oh my God, how do I top the last one?” I think you could probably get into a cycle of thinking, of rejecting each idea as not good enough because no idea is good enough until you start working on it, I think. So I kind of just picked a horse early on and was like, “Okay, it’ll be this.” And you start going down the path and sculpting it, and then it turns into the thing and it becomes what it is.”

On the other hand, Craig who is playing the lead, said in an interview that he wasn’t particularly fond of mysteries, but had recently started reading some and had found it interesting. “It’s amazing reading Sherlock Holmes — I read some just recently — and how very much like modern whodunits they are. t’s the same kind of tropes that we use over and over, that they’ve tried and tested  — and they work,” he said.

The filming happened on an island in Greece where the director found a group of resorts. He thought that it can be an amazing place to shoot. And then major parts of the movie were shot there. Even the families of the cast members stayed there for some time. They wrapped the schedules in September 2021 and then the film went into post-production.
