365 Days: This Day

365 Days: This Day (Polish: 365 Dni: Ten Dzień) is a 2022 Polish romantic drama film directed by Barbara Białowąs and Tomasz Mandes. It is based on the novel This Day by Blanka Lipińska, and is the sequel to the 2020 film 365 Days.

Plot
After the events of the previous film, Laura and Massimo are now married. However, Laura is now becoming tired of her pampered lifestyle, while Massimo's family business and the arrival of a new man threatens to complicate the lovers' lives.

Why This Day is a Terrible Day

 * 1) The events of the previous movie are just glossed over without much fanfare.
 * 2) The movie feels extremely slow and padded out:
 * 3) * There's too much slow motion.
 * 4) * The movie drags out pointless scenes of nothing really happening.
 * 5) * The plot (if you could call it that) doesn't start until almost halfway through the movie.
 * 6) Just like the first movie, the dialogue and line deliveries are weird, since the actors' first language isn't English.
 * 7) Excessive number of sex scenes. This eventually starts to get repetitive.
 * 8) Massimo is still a completely unlikable character, due to his extremely violent attitude.
 * 9) The soundtrack is both extremely generic and extremely intrusive.
 * 10) * In fact, it's so overbearing the movie seems like a series of crappy music videos strung together.
 * 11) * There's not much dialogue, with most of the movie dominated by the bad soundtrack.
 * 12) The movie ends on another cliffhanger, but we know Laura's not going to die, because there's a third movie coming, given there are three books in the 365 Days book series.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Some of the scenes are unintentionally cheesy and funny.
 * 2) Like the previous movie, it was at least successful with its target audience (young women).
 * 3) The sceneries are pretty nice.
