Every time I hear of a sequel being made for a movie, something along the lines of "30 years later" or "the next generation", I always feel skeptical to watch it, and I'm usually right for doing so.
No way was I expecting this to be the masterpiece that the first movie was, but I also didn't find it lacklustre or underwhelming. It wasn't necessary to make sequel, but since they did make it, I found it watchable and effortlessly funny like the first.
Sure, it wasn't as funny as the first-they rehashed a lot of the jokes-but I think some references were needed for us fans to connect with the movie.
I felt it had continued on with the trajectory of the first movie in terms of the humour. It's understandable that it's not going to have the energy of the first (I mean, they are older now), but the script (or improv) made sense with where the characters/actors are at this point of their career.
Overall, it was a bearable sequel with its own unique moments (and I definitely agreed with the cameos). It might not require multiple viewings, but I wouldn't mind watching it for a second time, just to see if I had missed any subtle gags.

It is a more complex movie compared to the other nominees at the Oscars and can be analyzed and stir up discussions, especially with an ambiguous ending, but should I even expect anything else from A24 movies than mere slow burns with great visuals and head-scratching endings?
Adrien Brody must win the Oscar for this. If it's down to him or Timothée, he has to be the one. This role solidified him as one of the greats.
It wasn't really a story I cared for; I did not like the characters at all and it gave me weird feelings like how I felt when I watched Atonement.
Cinematography is reminiscent of classic movies. Everything can be a still photograph, and Adrien Brody is quite photogenic.
I'm okay with it overall, but it was brutally long.
