Another social media user wrote, "Glass onion was good but when are we going to unpack Daniel Craig’s southern accent?"

"I enjoyed the Glass Onion but Daniel Craig's accent was not for me," wrote another Twitter user. "Daniel Craig’s accent in knives out is what cartoon characters with accents sound like," tweeted another one. "Watched #GlassOnion last night, and really enjoyed it but found Daniel Craig's southern accent artificial, awkward, and unnecessary. Loved Janelle Monáe," wrote another user.
