The Souvenir Part II

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

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

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.

This rich and mysterious film is a real achievement.

...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.
