Review of Tall Girl 2 (2022) by R0Astedp1Nata — 02 Aug 2022

Tall Girl 2 joins the masses of shovelware Netflix has on its catalogue. Netflix did not quite understand the ironic enjoyment behind the first movie's popular reception, so they thought a sequel was justified.

I watched both of these with the mindset of popcorn entertainment, to be laughed at rather than with. However, the sequel is merely a continuation of the same beats heard in the first, and no joke is funnier with repetition.

Tall Girl 2 seems to make strides in its writing during the first act, employing more vibrant colour and granting our characters the privilege of some ambition. However as characters begin to lose what I can only think is sanity with some of the decisions they make, the movie fails.

Jan Luis Castellanos' character merely exists to provide another character like Stig from the first Tall Girl. His lack of emotion towards his girlfriend leaving him or even more considerable lack of interest in the stageplay the script revolves around can only lead me to the conclusion that he is, in fact, a sociopath.

It is difficult to say which of the Tall Girl features is superior since they tread the same steps. Although, this time, every scene is mindlessly lit with blues and oranges.
