movie magic

Rating: 10/10 (5 May 2004)

it is true that the original is one of those films you don´t want a sequel for but here it is and it may be even superior to the first film. however, that is not important insomuch as the protagonists have grown older and so have we. It just feels right and not contrived at all to have the two meeting again. It feels like this is just how it must have happened. Both films definitely stand on their own. Jessie and Celine are adults now, wise, mature but still, you can´t help feeling like a teenager while watching them because you root for them as much as for anyone who you have been friends with your entire life.
Julie Delpy is one of the most amazing living creatures on earth, she may actually be an elf. the material is not what you may call typical cinema stuff as there is indeed much talking going on, however, the ending is pure movie magic.
