Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery contains many holes within its mysterious donuts, and its donut holes have holes of their own. In this freshly baked Benoit Blanc adventure, the audience is treated to a mid-film twist, similar to that of its predecessor, Knives Out.
In the original film, the audience is shown the true killer from before even the mid-point of the movie, leading them down another path entirely before turning it back on the original killing – which turned out not to be a murder at all. In the sunny, tropical sequel, director Rian Johnson opted for another mid-movie reveal – this time a twist, surrounding the character of Andi, played by Janelle Monáe.
Andi, who had been betrayed by Edward Norton’s Miles Bron in a ruthless business deal, surprises the characters by joining them on vacation soon after the bitter court case, but there’s more than meets the eye. The reveal tells us that Andi had already been killed earlier by Miles, with her identical twin sister Helen taking her place in order to identify the true killer.
