The greatest failure of ITChapterTwo might be how criminally it wastes Pennywise
Perhaps the film’s greatest failure is how criminally it wastes Pennywise himself. Photo: Warner Bros. Memory is as much shaped by who we are as who we yearn to be. What we live isn’t so easily catalogued; it mutates, skitters, and fades in the face of the prevailing story we dictate about who we imagine ourselves to be.
That’s the thing: It Chapter Two moves with an almost too swift purpose, never feeling the weight of its nearly three-hour runtime; although it is long, the film feels frustratingly thin. Meanwhile, the film is aggressively sentimental, and moments of emotional catharsis or terror don’t often hit the way they need to. When they do, it is because of the dedication of the acting.
