Review of Paddington 2 (2017) by Leeham — 30 May 2018
Utterly charming, this sequel does what every sequel should aim to do and that's move the story on in a direction one would hope is of equal or greater quality. Featuring a bevy of British talent - Grant absolutely steals the show, deservedly receiving BAFTA recognition - Paddington 2 takes a simple story and fleshes it out against current political climates and social sentiment without simplification or didactism.
It also looks splendid! One of the best films of 2017, it's brilliant storytelling for all.
