But, hey, it's great footage and - who knows? - maybe the film was bankrolling the whole trip (which included the fitting of a new leg).Ĭall me cynical, but there was only one brief moment which came close to telling us what Life Without Katie was truly like, and that - unsurprisingly - came from Eilish herself. Maybe the Holtons have talked this through, maybe they would insist that these visits are genuinely therapeutic - whatever, Galloway's treatment did them no favours.
Instead, the parents (so admirably, lovingly stoic in the first film) just got saintlier and smilier and ever more irritating, and the motivation behind some of the scenes became disquietingly dubious.Ĭan Eilish really gain, for instance, by being dragged off to America to meet some still conjoined twins? "Very emotional," Dad felt upon seeing them, but what about Eilish? Are they really doing her any favours, I wondered darkly, as her brave and serious little face alighted on Abigail and Brittany Hensel with their shared body and two heads? Wasn't this an experience we were encouraged to feel she'd put behind her? Instead, we got endless shots of ducks on the pond, bland, piano-accompanied footage of Irish trees dappled with sunlight, cows, shopping malls, the Holtons' garden and pointlessly scudding clouds.
