T2 Trainspotting movie review: GenX running out of steam but chugging on
The sparse, cold satisfaction that could be wrung from Trainspotting’s punk insolence has been replaced by an exhausted cynicism. Which is exactly right.

The sparse, cold satisfaction that could be wrung from Trainspotting’s punk insolence has been replaced by an exhausted cynicism. Which is exactly right.
Simultaneously the dullest and the most insulting version of itself it could possibly be. If only it had managed to be campy, that’d be something…
Hauntingly grim, full of appalling ironies and awful truths. This is most definitely not the feel-good movie of the summer.
I love it when a film that is “supposed” to be all stuffy and classic turns out to be this electric and alive…
