Nope Part two was worse. I think this movie was intent on scratching out my eyeballs. It was torture. I hope you enjoyed it more! Final Score: 1.7/10

Maybe too much time passed since I saw "Part 1", or maybe I used all my patience on that film, either way I can just say that this bored me quite a lot.

Even better than the first part. You can tell Patrick Wang has a massive... love of Christopher Guest. If you loved Spinal Tap, A Mighty Wind, For Your Consideration, you'll laugh your ass off watching this one. GO SEE IT. I'm gonna copy and past my review for part 1 in this too as a response for people wondering why there are so many 1 star reviews.
Newsflash weirdos who spend all their time 1-starring everything, this movie is making fun of pretentious films. It's supposed to be stupid and absurd. I guarantee most of the people who are shitting on it here, didn't watch it and just assumed it was a "pretentious indie movie" because of the title.
You can taste the irony that has been completely lost on some of these people.

Through bursts of comedy, poignancy, conflict, song, dance, and theatrical whimsy, what emerges is akin to a homespun symphony of soulfulness. A one of a kind cinematic experience, an ethnography of a community told with a profoundly compassionate eye

Throughout [Patrick] Wang demonstrates he's a gifted, idiosyncratic director of actors, and his patient affection for many of the characters can be disarming.

Call it pretentious, but these two films are a tapestry of life where a spectrum of human existence is not necessarily examined but rather observed.
Rated: 3.5/5

It's as if Eric Rohmer had made a Christopher Guest film - "Waiting for Guffman" recast as an ardent inquiry into what small-town American life has become.

[It] doesn't rest on its Manichean haunches; instead, it humanizes even the supposed antagonists, offering us the formal victory of art in the face of its thematic defeat.

In Part II, called "Walk With Me a While," the film becomes far more experimental, deconstructive, and unpredictable.

An endlessly charming labor of love that firmly establishes Wang as one of the most unique and vital voices in American independent cinema.
Rated: 3.5/4
