Reviews

Critical reception of "In Therapy 2" has been mixed. On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 5.2/10, reflecting a moderate response from general audiences. Some reviewers appreciate the film's engaging approach to psychological themes and Vanessa Giácomo's compelling performance, praising its warm and sometimes humorous depiction of therapy and emotional healing. However, other critics have pointed out that the sequel lacks some of the depth and originality of the first installment, noting that the narrative occasionally feels predictable and the pacing uneven. While the film succeeds in keeping viewers emotionally connected, certain critics from regional Brazilian film outlets have mentioned that it relies too heavily on clichés and misses opportunities for stronger dramatic impact. Overall, "In Therapy 2" is seen as a decent drama that explores relevant psychological topics but falls short of achieving critical acclaim or wider international recognition.
