Paddington 2

The Rotten Tomatoes score is justified. So I really spent the entire film expecting Aunt Lucy to be dead at the end, which to be fair, my bad, I should’ve known the audience. But holy shit this is a perfect film. Everything that I loved about the first one is just revamped and given its gravitas. Cast, writing, script, set design, music, editing, it’s top to bottom perfect. There was never a point in this film where I knew where it was going. Every single story beat kept me engaged, everything is just so intentional. The amount of details that are thrown in and for every single one of them to have a purpose in this story and drive the plot forward, this should’ve won every award.  I think I might adopt a little bear.
