The TVI Take

Andrew Stanton's Pixar sequel that does the unexpected: treats short-term memory disorder as the actual subject rather than as cute character quirk. Dory's parents-flashbacks sequences are genuine grief work, and the film's structural willingness to let the protagonist forget what we just watched is the rare animated sequel that surpasses its source by being more honest about the premise.
