Leave your thoughts about The Souvenir: Part II.
| The IndependentAdam WhiteIt is a tender, sprawling drama that feels less inert than its predecessor and far more compelling. |
| Time OutDave CalhounThis is a story about the importance of making mistakes, of learning, of pulling yourself up and trying again – whether in love, sex, art or friendship. It’s a delirious ‘making of’ film: the making of an artist and the making of a life in all its messy glory. |
| Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangOne of the more delightful surprises of “The Souvenir Part II” is that it’s both a sadder, heavier film than its predecessor and a looser, funnier one. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeThough fully distinct in its thematic and aesthetic fixations, The Souvenir Part II abuts its predecessor to form one of the medium’s most intimate, expressive portraits of the artist as a young woman — a mirror tilted just enough away from the filmmaker that the audience, too, can catch itself in the glass. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyThe distinctive British filmmaker is at the height of her powers in this semiautobiographical work. |
| Screen DailyFionnuala HalliganThe Souvenir: Part II is a film to savour, visually and sensorily. |
| The PlaylistCarlos AguilarA masterwork of self-introspection through the canvas of cinema, The Souvenir: Part II is a meta epic of delicate proportions that constantly folds into itself and reveals the murky waters that border fiction and the reality that inspires it, sometimes, like in this case, more directly than others. |
| The TelegraphTim RobeyWhere Part I had a shimmering poignancy as a tragic love story, this is busy and dazzling: Hogg has never made a funnier piece of work or come to us with such fresh provocations. |
| CineVueJohn BleasdaleThe two-part The Souvenir can be seen very much as one whole, and as such is one of the very best achievements in recent British cinema. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawThis rich and mysterious film is a real achievement. |
