Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) In South African writer-director Hanneke Schutte's 10-minute short film Willem Dafoe plays a loner who still isn't over the fact that he could not compete at the table tennis Olympics several decades ago due to a simple cold. That is why he never leaves the house. When his bird gets sick, a young female vet diagnoses that he is just reflecting his owner's depression. So she gets the original Olympics Gold medal winner to the house and Dafoe's character finally gets his big say. Of course the vet has a father with interest in table tennis, so she makes this personal. And of course, Dafoe's character goes immediately out of the house after staying in for 10 years before (according to his neighbor) and not even being able to get the newspaper properly.In the end he recovers and so does the bird. Nice little story if you don't think about it in depth, but as a whole it really felt a bit superficial and ridiculous occasionally. I'd only recommend this to Dafoe completionists and fans of the series "Awkward!" for Nikki Deloach.
