Steady yourselves for more saccharine moments and coy glances, as this smash hit coming-of-age drama is back for a second series.

Based on Peter Hedge’s 1991 novel, the film is far less cloying than you might fear, largely thanks to the understated maturity of DiCaprio’s performance, which won him an Oscar nomination. Leonardo DiCaprio got his breakout moment in this moving coming-of-age drama in which he plays Arnie, the handicapped brother of Johnny Depp’s eponymous small-town deadbeat. We’re reunited with Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord and Zoe Saldana’s Gamora, but Bradley Cooper-voiced gun-toting racoon Rocket forms most of the action. Is Marvel’s dominance over cinema starting to wane?
