The Souvenir: Part II

"A most unlikely sequel – and absolutely perfect."

"A dazzling, fragile follow-up..."

"An amazingly luminous self-portrait of the film-maker as a young woman..."

"A work of understated warmth, profound emotional complexity, and eminently British dry humour."

"It's funnier than the original, and looser, too."

"Searching, leftfield, strange and imaginative - you could call The Souvenir Part II all those things. It's also sensitive and funny."

"The Souvenir: Part II is the rare sequel to improve on its terrific predecessor..."

"Julie wears out your patience..."

"Ms. Hogg has outdone herself..."

"The best kind of sequel, not merely enhancing or deepening its predecessor but also recasting it in a revelatory new light."

"The Souvenir Part II is a more buoyant, funnier film than its predecessor."

"A beguilingly meta portrait of the artist as a young woman..."

"The film, like Julie, is adrift."

"(Byrne) doesn't even seem to be giving a performance, which underscores just how good a performance it actually is."

"The Souvenir (2019) and its follow-up are among the best autobiographical films ever made..."
