Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022 Rian Johnson & scr)

Benoit Blanc is summoned to an Agatha Christie type island setting where various old friends have been invited to a murder weekend - but whose murder? Ingenious tale start unweaving or ravelling when Janell Monae's story comes to life - the film is perhaps too long (2 hours 19) but very enjoyable. Edward Norton's place is cluttered to the point of exhaustion with art objects (which become quite distracting, but fun for art connoisseurs I should think).

With Daniel Craig are Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr (The Many Saints of Newark), Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista, Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, Hugh Grant.

I was most surprised to hear the lyrics of 'Glass Onion' which seemed to be all about John Lennon's own songs.
