I love Inside Out 2 (2024, Kelsey Mann) because it’s like Joel Silver’s wham-o meter, except instead of adrenaline action thrills every 10 minutes, it makes me cry every 10 minutes. It operates most effectively as a melodrama. And it rescues that genre from the ranks of lurid trashy fodder into a prestige picture through its metaphysical, psychological, hyperspeed narrative that never sacrifices the craft of remembering to focus on the entertainment as it weaves its narrative.
It’s also rad as a coming of age story. And its fresh take there is RILEY going through puberty avoids her facing the romantic or lustful depictions we would normally see. And something else I enjoyed this time around is mapping the interrelation between any of the various emotions.
