The Souvenir: Part II - Avaliações

...surrendering to Hogg's slow alchemy still feels like a rare treat...

This rich and mysterious film is a real achievement.

Joanna Hogg delivers an object lesson in how to deliver a follow-up: deeper, funnier, more imaginative than its predecessor, The Souvenir Part II is a filmmaker working at the peak of her powers.

...an extraordinary work of meta-fiction which continues where the previous film left off, and subverts the fastidiousness of its construction to illuminate why Hogg felt the need to make it in the first place.

This is, after all, a brutally honest self-portrait.

A beautiful movie about the process of making a movie.

...the rare sequel to improve on its terrific predecessor.

It is almost overwhelming in how intelligently devised it is.

...with Part II the master of middle-class filmmaking turns her eye to the power of making art to work your way through grief.

One of the themes of the film is that life is art and art is life. Life as we live it doesn't present us with themes, but in looking back across time themes emerge. Hogg is in process, still.

...It’s a beguiling work from a master of her craft that holds the art of filmmaking in its piercing gaze, and speaks to an uncompromising vision of what cinema can be with a little faith and imagination.

...a playful cinematic memoir that entertains and provokes.

Joanna Hogg færdiggør sit autofiktive livsværk om en spirende filmskaber med humor og vedkommenhed.
