I recently listened to a review of the film on the Pod Damn America podcast which expressed somewhat similar sentiments.
I was surprised by the generally poor reviews coming out after hearing this review which praised it for portraying a more sober and somber depiction of mental illness than what audiences had expected.
I have yet to see either the original or this sequel, but I’ll admit the more favorable reviews of this sequel make me want to set aside a few hours to give them some attention.
I think both movies are worth it. The second one appears to have less mass appeal, but I thought it was a great movie. I think in time this movie will be rehabilitated by the general public and you’ll have people who are bashing it now saying they always liked it.
