United States	Oliver Lyttelton IndieWire	"A nostalgic, but slight and messy sequel."	NEU
United States	Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter	"A missed opportunity on multiple levels, 'T2' is stylistically an overwrought rehash which relies heavily on over-caffeinated camerawork and flashy effects (...) to distract us from its essential paucity of raison d'etre."	NEG
United States	Jason Solomons The Wrap	"'T2 Trainspotting' isn’t a bad film at all. In places, it’s terrific, but it too often drags in a pool of its own despondency, a miserable and melancholy movie that almost looks a bit embarrassed to be so."	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Danny Boyle’s 'T2 Trainspotting' is everything I could reasonably have hoped for - scary, funny, desperately sad, with many a bold visual flourish. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Dave Calhoun Time Out	"Lightning might never strike twice, but Danny Boyle and co have delivered a thoughtful, respectable and knowing sequel to 1996's 'Trainspotting'. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"Although there are plenty of moments of savage humour, the highs are just not quite so high any more. There's a melancholy maturity, however, which is satisfying in its own way."	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Freer Empire	""In some senses 'T2' shares elements with its 'Terminator' namesake. It’s inventive and full of surprises. But unlike Cameron’s sequel, it doesn’t reimagine the original in quite the same glorious way. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
