Reviews
Wow! Such a good movie.
A Disappointing Continuation
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
