The greatest heartbreak that comes with extreme wealth is not being able to trust even your friends
As a therapist to “ultra high net worth individuals”, for me the new Netflix sensation, Glass Onion, A Knives Out Mystery, hits a little too close to home. While the average person naturally finds it hard to muster any sympathy for billionaires, the sequel to the 2019 murder mystery film Knives Out perfectly illustrates why I would never choose to enter the complicated world of my clients. Trust me when I say you’ll never see me buying a lottery ticket.
Director Rian Johnson sets his sequel on a lavish private Greek island owned by billionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton). Miles’ closest friends gather to play a murder mystery game over the course of a glamorous weekend – along with the world’s greatest detective, Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig). While this might seem like a far-fetched storyline, it is not entirely unusual.
