There’s a goofy charm to the look and feel of the project that should delight animation fans, but this sequel lacks the playful inventiveness and breezy wit of the original.

FANATICAL ABOUT FILM!
Movies are our religion and the theater our church. Our gods are named Tarantino, Anderson and Scorsese.
We attend services 3-4 times a week and take our communion in the form of soda and popcorn. We offer up these reviews in hopes of pleasing our deities.
Please share your own comments on our reviews. We encourage all forms of respectful debate. We are, after all, “Fanatical About Film”!

“Wonka”
This enchanting, magical, family-friendly adventure may be the most pleasant surprise of 2023.
“The Boy and the Heron”
The level of artistry is masterful, but the storytelling is frustrating, confusing, and lacks structure.
“May December”
A complex film about objective truth, distorted reality, and the perils of desire.
“Silent Night”
Strikes the perfect balance between intense action sequences and equally commanding emotional moments to create a stunning film that fires on all cylinders.
“All of Us Strangers”
Too abstract and messy for the most part, it’s the film’s haunting, deeply moving, and profound final act that truly makes it an outstanding piece of cinema.
