Romcoms don't typically get sequels for a reason. With Don’t Go Breaking My Heart 2, Johnnie To tells us what happens to the point of the love triangle who wasn't picked, and proposes a follow-up that is much darker, where the grand gestures of the first film are desperate, more ambiguous, even creepy. What is true love and what is obsession? It may just be a matter of tone. The film adds a couple of new characters to create another triangle, which becomes a pentagon before long, and once again, we're worried that the wrong choices could be made. And in a darker take on the romance film, is the wrong outcome more probable? Don't let the comic misunderstandings and spit takes fool you... maybe? But for all the deconstruction of what was a first satisfying picture, I can't help but like the sequel. It's so damn human. I still want to follow the characters, and in lieu of the frog, a great role for an octopus! 2 years 8 months ago
