Málokdy se stane, že dvojka je stejně dobrá, jako jednička. Tady se to podařilo. A hlavně, že už tam ubylo těch drastických scén, i když se v časových vratkách připomínaly a i když je to erotický film, bylo mě vlastně hlavní postavy, která měla dvě jména, pořád líto ...

The Ghost Still Lingers
I am… flabbergasted.Going into this, I didn’t expect much. After all, the first film (The Shortest Distance Is Round) was filled with NC scenes and minimal plot — not completely hollow, but definitely leaning more on sensation than story. So I braced myself for more of the same.
But this sequel?
It surprised me — in the most uncomfortable way possible.
It’s not just that there are NC scenes again (and yes, they’re plenty), but this time, the plot actually matters — and it completely shifts the tone of everything you think you’re watching. By the end, I was left questioning not just the characters' choices, but something deeper, something existential.
The plot twist twist threw me.
It’s like that eerie storytelling device: even when a character dies, their presence lingers like a ghost, narrating the story long after they're gone. That’s exactly how this felt. A character who’s not even physically present dominates the emotional and psychological weight of the film.
It’s disturbing. It's messy.
But it’s also the only reason this film stands out. Without the psychological twist, it would've been just another string of explicit scenes.
Final Thoughts:
If you’re expecting warmth, love, or healing — this isn’t it. But if you’re drawn to twisted narratives, psychological games, and stories that make you deeply uncomfortable while still pulling you in... this film unexpectedly delivers. Just be ready for the chaos.
