The scar on Skye’s knee is in the shape of a smile
Tale
While preparing for a world tour, global pop sensation Skye Riley begins to experience increasingly terrifying and inexplicable events. Crushed by mounting horrors and the pressure of fame, Skye is forced to come face to face with her past. In one of the walls, Skye places a bottle of VOSS water on the stone/marble kitchen counter, and a noise is heard corresponding to the sound of a plastic object being placed. VOSS water bottles are made of glass, which is especially emphasized in the film, so the sound does not correspond to the seen action.

Skye Riley: [Smiling at the entity] You’re not in control, me! . Well, Smile 2 definitely lives up to Naomi Scott’s performance as Skye Riley. This role should attract a lot of attention to her and hopefully lead to an increase in the number of leading roles.
This is getting a little funny
It definitely deserves an award, but let’s face it: it’s a horror movie, so it’s unlikely to happen. The film itself offers only vague answers and many assumptions about what is real and what Skye is hallucinating. This is a bit frustrating as it is repeated throughout the film. And what happened to how many times Vossi’s water appears?!
I hope some more things will be revealed
Perhaps I’m missing something, and drinking water is more of a plot twist than what we’re being offered about dehydration. Nevertheless, there is something to admire in this sequel, and it is not just a rehash of the first film. There are some creepy moments and an ambiguous ending that needs a third part. Leaving everything up to the imagination is fine, but it’s also a beautiful narrative where the writers don’t just use it as a preposition to avoid inventing answers.
