In 2015, Pixar’s Inside Out was a hilarious but honest portrayal of how we process our feelings and respond to certain situations. Not much time has passed for these characters, but it’s been an eternity for audiences. Inside Out 2 focuses on the next chapter of Riley’s life as a teenager who experiences puberty and shakeups in her relationships with her parents and friends. It’s all a part of the process of growing up. And the sequel will reveal how she processes Anxiety, Envy, Embarrassment, and Ennui on her uncharted emotional journey.

Pixar’s Inside Out was an opportunity for the animation studio to explore uncharted territory. The human mind. It was a playful yet informative character study on emotions like Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Anger and Fear. The critical and commercially successful film helped audiences embrace their emotions while also normalizing discarded ones. Nine years later, Inside Out 2, revisits the inside of Riley’s mind and sees Joy and the gang making room for four new emotions: Anxiety, Envy, Embarrassment, and Ennui.

Guy Ritchie is arguably one of the most stylish directors in Hollywood. Notable for his slow motion shots, and quick cuts, the director behind Snatch and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels has developed several trademarks throughout his notable career that really establish his unique brand. This is something incredibly evident in his Sherlock Holmes films and even Aladdin. So I was expecting more of the same (in a good way) from The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. However to my even more pleasant surprise, I found a more mature, subdued Ritchie within the fun and wit of this enjoyable war romp.
