Top of the Lake 2: China Girl (2017 Jane Campion, Gerard Lee)

We weren't quite as convinced by this sequel, in which the behaviour of Elizabeth Moss's daughter Alice Englert (Campion's daughter) in mixing with shady German David Dencik is not understandable. In fact we begin to wonder if almost everyone involved has some sort of mental problem, including the mother (Nicole Kidman), and Super Large Cop Gwendoline Christie. Talking of her, don't bother to let us know if she survived (we enjoyed her character). Also the story left over from the first series isn't fully put to bed.

Cast good: Ewen Leslie etc. Plenty of hideous men as usual. Good music.

It's kind of irritating viewing.
