Russian Dolls a.k.a Les Poupées russes is the sequel to the first film The Spanish Apartment directed by Cedric Klapisch. And it is well made, a good continuation to the first film.

We follow the main character Xavier, as he's reuniting with his friends from Barcelona five years after the events of the first film. During the plot, he is struggling both with his work as a writer and his love life.

The story continues focusing on the characters struggles and pressure in life, as it did during the events of the first movie. Even though The characters are not as young as they were, which was an element important enough to make younger audience identify with. The movie does center around more mature problems in life. An element important to make adults identify with.

Xavier's whole romance saga keeps going on in the sequel. Yet I'm sure despite the ending. It will still keep going on. Xavier throughout the story changes romances and girlfriends like clothes. He even hooks up with his friend from Barcelona Wendy, which to me was weird and a bit unnecessary because I always saw them as just close friends who can tell each other everything.

Overall, as I was happy with the first film, so I am with the second. I loved the reunion that was made with all the characters and sympathized with the joy that was put out in the scene. Good work and continuation of the story I learned to love.
