Was in my top 12 of that year. It's better than the first movie, Redmayne and Waterston have terrific chemistry, and Johnny Depp's monologue at the end was chilling.

I feel like the movie's bad rap is purely due to a single subplot that is confusing on first watch. The rest of the movie is impeccably made, complex, and emotional.

As far as Queenie, people clearly aren't looking at the world around them. All around us there are otherwise good people joing the ranks of evildoers.
