I had pretty much convinced myself that a sequel to Knives Out could only be a disappointment. I'm very pleased to be wrong: Glass Onion is amazing.

One thing I was specifically worried about was whether the film would be able to manage without Marta, who was the beating heart of the original film. Glass Onion has its own beating heart; it takes longer to get to the equivalent of the moment in Knives Out where Marta took centre stage, but it's absolutely worth the wait.

(And one of the reasons I'm looking forward to watching Glass Onion again is to see all the moments before that point that I didn't know I was seeing the first time through.)

We watched Knives Out at the Rooftop Movies first off, a while ago. Then we re-watched it on Christmas Eve, with possbert. Then we watched it again last night, with my Mum, in preparation to seeing Glass Onion with them together.

I must say it was really good to see it again and then repeat, because it's eminently re-watchable, and also, as you say, all those moments that you didn't know you were seeing the first time through.

I'm inclined to agree that it's excellent. And the billionaire's choice of decoration all the more amusing to anyone who's seen City of Death.

I may have to find someone who has Netflix to see it. I refuse to get yet another streaming service for one movie.
