There's a sharper point to Uncle Kent 2, although the sequel's also something of an endurance test, in ways the original never was.

Rated: B-

Richard Brody

The New Yorker

Despite the thin story and Rohal's merely efficient direction, the effort suggests bold new prospects in independent filmmaking.

Glenn Kenny

New York Times

A funnier and more imaginative film than its predecessor, but it's still what you might call a niche proposition.

Adam Patterson

Film Pulse

An over-the-top, joyously fun romp that manages to be both wildly different than the original while still retaining its biographical feel

Rated: 7/10

Maitland McDonagh

Film Journal International

An animator has a personal meltdown in this absurdist comedy whose nerd-bro sensibilities are very much a matter of taste.

Screen-Space (Substack)

Osborne's not really an actor and the film never entirely commits to any conventional notion of a narrative, but both prove beguiling and compelling...Uncle Kent 2 is fearless, farfetched and very funny.

Is it fair to say a movie is complete shit when that's what's it's trying so desperately to be? Yes, it is.
