Riepilogo

Reviewers say 'Smile 2' delves into trauma, mental health, and fame, with psychological horror. Naomi Scott's performance is lauded, and the film's atmosphere, tension, and jump scares are praised. However, repetitive plot, lack of new lore, and pacing issues are criticized. Cinematography and sound design are strengths, but the runtime and ending are seen as weaknesses, resulting in mixed impressions.

Personally Disappointing

Smile 1 was far superior for me. The main character of this film wasn't likeable or relatable. I really wish the film would have been about Joel, would have been really interesting and he's much more likeable. Way too many jumpscares, I didnt like how the hallucinations went way way overboard. I felt frustrated while watching this, rules were thrown out the window. We didn't get any new information about the entity which is what really interests me. None of the characters were likeable. This movie was dumbed down big time to please the dumbed down masses. Way too many loss water plugs, I couldn't stand thr hair pulling. I can go on and on. The first one was terrific, this one falls short.

SHE REALLY KILLED THIS ROLE.

Naomi Scott absolutely outdid herself in this role. I didn't know she was THIS talented before-that was my mistake. I loved the movie, and I was really on edge while watching it, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The storyline is more successful than the first movie. Some might say it's a repeat of the first film, and to some extent, they're right. Does this movie offer something new? Do we learn anything new? The answer is no. But it's incredibly enjoyable and tense, giving us two hours of gripping entertainment. Also, I loved how this time they focused more on the psychological aspects. Great music and costumes. The only thing that bothered me was how much the film toyed with our minds. The fact that some events in the movie don't actually happen, and that it is hard to tell what's real and what's happening in the character's mind is fun at first, but after a while, it gets tiring. Great ending. Looks like a new movie is on the way. I'll be waiting. <3.

Naomi Scott PERIOD

A very disturbing portrayal of the Smile phenomenon using the pop music scene and celebrity culture as a backdrop. Skye the central character is front and center in this horrifying story that presents layers upon layers of one's life spiraling out of control. We see most of the story from Skye point of view and so the movie does a great job of building empathy for the character in spite of all her moral failings. It also presents some deep themes on the toxic culture of pop stardom. In the movie, Smile takes on many meanings as it also reflects the pressure of showing up and smiling for the cameras when one's mental health is in shambles. Her momager, her assistant and fans all seem reasonable in the chaos yet their actions seem to become instruments of torture. It's so disturbing, Personally I feel like the Skye goes through too much and at the end I was just relieved that the movie was over. If you are into body horror then you would love this. The movie is quite scary but it is more disturbing than it's scary.

Amazing acting from Naomi Scott!

I just watched the movie at a premiere here in my country and i was pleasantly surprised by this actress: Naomi Scott!

Her acting was top notch!! Her screams, her grimaces were so good, her acting was very convincing!! The movie is a little bit slow but it is not boring! It has very brutal and gory scenes when the killings happened! The gory effects were scary and not for a weak stomach!

The opening scene of the movie was chaotically filmed but in a good way, Kyle Gallner's small role was perfect! And oh boy..poor guy!(I don't want to do a spoiler but..yeah, poor guy) The musical part of the movie(yes, it has little musical scenes miles better than what we saw in Joker 2) were pretty cool with some good songs! Well, my opinion? I like it!! A little bit slow at some parts but it was a very decent sequel!! It deserves your attention and go and see it on a big screen!! Not for kids, definitely! Some really brutal scenes in the movie!!

A visceral descent into madness

Smile 2 takes the foundation of its predecessor and runs with it, offering a premise that lends itself to endless possibilities. The filmmakers made a unique choice by centering the story around the descent into madness of a pop star, giving the psychological horror a fresh angle. This creative decision keeps the narrative compelling, especially with the main actor delivering an outstanding performance, fully capturing the unraveling of the character's mind on screen.

Visually, the film excels. It's well shot, with a stunning opening sequence that immediately sets an unsettling tone-a mood that persists throughout the entire movie. The tension never truly lets up, which keeps you on edge from start to finish. The gore is another highlight, unapologetically upfront, making sure those moments are as visceral and disturbing as they need to be for the story.

However, the supporting cast doesn't add much to the overall narrative. In fact, a late addition to the story introduces an eye-rolling amount of exposition, which feels unnecessary and jarringly pulls away from the madness that had been steadily building throughout the film. This shift undercuts the psychological intensity that the movie had worked so hard to establish. While the supporting characters may not be memorable, the film still manages to maintain its suspense thanks to its strong lead and striking visuals.

Quiz
Ensuring "the sequel was different from its predecessor" meant giving the film a unique look. Parker Finn wanted to depict a "glammy, shiny, very fun pop star's world," but also make it feel "very cold, frigid, threatening and almost alien." This meant avoiding the usual horror settings of cold creepy basements and shadowy attics. Finn said he wanted to find fear, dread and unease in an unexpected environment.

Blooper
While the film takes place in New York City, when Skye and Gemma are driving out of the city to Staten Island, the very last part of the shot is with mountains in the background...clearly upstate NY where the movie was shot.
