I had saved watching this until today so my whole family could accompany me for my birthday. I had high expectations due to the quality of the excellent first film and from recent reviews but they were exceeded.
It is just bloody marvelous - properly funny, heartwarming and tear-jerking as well as carrying on the allegories about refugees, immigrants & inclusion from the first film and continuing the ‘Love letter to London’ feel of it’s predecessor.
Hugh Grant continues his later career renaissance and pretty much steals the show, of course. That said, the whole cast are fantastic with Brendan Gleeson and everyone else in the prison scenes particularly standing out.
One of the films of the year.
