Wasn’t expecting to love this as much as I did.
This is a extremely raw film. No overacting or convoluted plot, it’s a film about real emotions, told through all the dialogue & nuances of Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin. They’re two distant family members, whose ‘once upon a time’ past radiates every scene with one another, that are on a heartaching journey touring Poland’s holocaust past.

This film’s attempt to avoid complacency ultimately becomes its downfall, as it bears a script that is nearly unrecognizable to its predecessor.

I had high expectations for this film and I was ultimately disappointed. The film’s plot loses all sense by the time it is finished. What saves the film overall are the comedic scenes, awkward situations, and the many undertones of battling a capitalist society throughout. However, once they start to introduce man-horses, using poor CGI, it makes me wonder who truly thought this plot was a good idea.
