“Intelligent and Sensitive”: Rated 3.7 out of 5, this is a must see movie this week!

Nine years after Vice Versa and its $858 million worldwide gross, its sequel Vice Versa 2 hits our theaters. This second opus directed by Kelsey Mann (who thus replaces Pete Docter and Ronaldo del Carmen) was well received by the French press, with an average rating of 3.7 out of 5.

It is the best movie of the week, ahead of The Bikeriders and The Summer With Carmen, rated 3.6 out of 5. Note that the first part was much better, with an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 (for 34 reviews).

What is it about?

Freshly graduated, Riley is now a teenager, not to mention a major upheaval at headquarters, who must face something unexpected: the arrival of new emotions!

Joy, sadness, anger, fear and disgust – which have worked successfully for a long time – do not really know how to behave when anxiety comes. And it seems he’s not the only one…

According to Critikat.com:

“Unfortunately, the contraction that Vice Versa 2 takes is matched by the second: Pixar seems to have kept its former ambitions in the back of a hangar, like Riley’s forgotten memories.” by Jose Morel – 2/5
