Still solid, more innovative yet somehow purposeless. I understand that this one is her personal journey, but Julie cannot pull it off alone. It doesn’t have this captivity the first part does, which is so rightfully melancholic and full of pathological possessiveness of their relationship. They were both junkies, one for heroine, one for love.

#watershed# 很多创作者都会在debut work里完成最重要的私人叙事和情感寄托。像是一个成人礼，在此之后可以更娴熟地探索其他方向。Joanna Hogg等了四十年，才小心翼翼地交托了这份回忆。漫长时光里的克制倾泻在这部电影里，“use it wisely, and with mercy” 。

整部电影都在问我们，how do you feel? 没看第一部，以为女主拍的电影属于第一部，电影外她的生活，她如何cope她电影中发生的事是第二部，看完发现原来真的有第一部…
