Excerpts from media reviews:

Jason Bailey, critic for The Playlist (100 out of 100): "With this sequel, the filmmaker fully demonstrates his mastery of both the genre and his craft. A pure, unexpected delight."

IndieWire film critic Kate Erbland (91/100): Don't worry, Rian Johnson did not intend to reshape the suspense movie through this film, but with the interaction of his brilliant script and super detective aura, he deconstructed the suspense movie like flowing water and repositioned it.

Daily Screen Wendy Ide 80 points: Although the plot of this film is not so light and the motivations of several key events and characters are not convincing enough, it is still a very interesting movie, just like the first one - or even more interesting than the first one.

Chris Evangelista, Slashfilm (90/100): "Rian Johnson delivers a lot of joy with his lightning-fast twists and surprising, hilarious revelations. Every scene is clever and suspenseful, and like Benoit, we want to solve the mystery."

Variety film critic Owen Gleiberman (80/100): "Compared to the first film, Knives Out 2 is a thriller wrapped in mystery and deception.

Benjamin Lee, film critic for The Guardian (60/100): "The film is crammed with so much content that it will surely be a more interesting film for those who want to dig into the details. Especially when Rian Johnson is secretly manipulating everything. I wish it hadn't been crammed with so much content and so hard."
