Saw Trainspotting T2 last night. Funnier/less bleak than the original but quite reliant on it and verging on excess sentimentality at points. Style is so-so with weird really short freeze-frames that look more like the film is buffering than anything else. Enjoyed it but I almost think it would have been better as a high(ish)-budget miniseries on netflix with the associated time to develop the plot and really get into what the characters have been doing for 20 years.
