“Smile 2 is more of the same. A lot more. But it’s just as scary, and this time it’s feistier and funnier, proving that the premise has legs and also some malleability.”

“Smile 2 is bigger, scarier, funnier, smarter, darker, and undeniably better than its predecessor.”

Austen Goslin, Polygon · 83

“The entity's visage is shocking, its effects personal and malevolent, and the film had some terrifying set pieces, creating a mysterious new supernatural creature to lose sleep over.”
