3.5/5
The Souvenir Part II is undeniably the work of a talented director though this episode of the autobiography is less interesting than its predecessor. Go to Full Review
Mark Kermode Observer (UK) 02/06/2022
5/5
This is a creative coming-of-age story – a portrait of the artist as a young woman discovering her own voice. Go to Full Review
Ian Freer Empire Magazine 02/05/2022
5/5
Joanna Hogg delivers an object lesson in how to deliver a follow-up: deeper, funnier, more imaginative than its predecessor, The Souvenir Part II is a filmmaker working at the peak of her powers. Go to Full Review
William Stottor Loud and Clear Reviews 07/18/2024
4/5
Joanna Hogg signs off on her double feature with The Souvenir: Part II, a quietly powerful, meta journey through grief and beyond. Go to Full Review
Sam Moore Vague Visages 06/05/2024
Like its predecessor, The Souvenir Part II is defined by its open spaces; the silences in conversation, the gap between ‘action’ and ‘cut,’ the clouds between the memory of how something happened, and the reality of it. Go to Full Review

Robyn K 11/17/2021 Especially good if you've seen Part I! Not a film for everyone, but if you like film and the making of film, it's quite an interesting piece! See more Roy J 11/10/2021 Beautiful movie. Better than Part 1. Richard Ayoade brought some great laughs. See more marion 11/08/2021 “This is cinema! Not something you watch with your uncle.” See more Douglas R 11/08/2021 Strictly for true devotees of cinema See more chris 10/31/2021 Not sure the meta surrealism at the end entirely worked for me but you have to give it credit for being audacious. Also maybe the most accurate movie I’ve ever seen about being in film school. Just really good overall and superior in most ways to the first part. See more Cristina B Mar 15 Retro film with flawless cinematography, 1980s costumes, slow pace and gentle characters. Rather pointless plot despite pleasurable visuals. Stodgy, middle class and white in a way that feels alien. Enjoyable if you don’t want to think too hard. Lead actress fun to watch but the meandering, monotonous plot actually becomes boring. Tilda Swinton's husband is hot. Soundtrack annoying and a wasted opportunity. See more Read all reviews
