With excellent production values executed by production designer Stephanie Carroll along with Mobolaji Dawodu’s striking costumes, the visuals captured by cinematographer Sean Bobbitt’s lens are appealing. And so is Alex Heffes’s lavish score which tugs at your heartstrings and compliments the visuals.
Overall, the film, rich in cultural texture is skilfully and sensitively handled. -
Mirzya even though two hours and 10 minutes, seems like a lifetime in the theatre as Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra does not succeed in involving you in the love story of the duo. Neither does your heart beat for them nor do you get teary eyed when they are separated. Aesthetically, it is a treat though.
-
The film is not as exciting as a one-day cricket match. Instead, it is like a Test Series that definitely touches the right nerve.
-
Visually the film has all the trappings of a Western. The action sequences are skilfully choreographed and every frame is aesthetically captured by Cinematographer Mauro Fiore’s lens.
-
Overall, this romantic triangle will truly appeal to romantics.
-
“Parched” celebrates the joie de vivre of shared grief among women who live their wretched lives on the edge and are only too happily to topple over when pushed and provoked. Sometimes, feminism doesn’t need a full-blown messianic clarion call. A little tug, a firm push, will do. “Parched” hits us where it hurts the most.
-
Overall, the result may not be a tad insipid yet it may appeal to some.
-
Pink sucks us so deep into its characters’ lives that we come away breathess and anxious.
-
Overall, ‘Pink’ is an evocative film about women, brimming with messages relevant for society, and keeps you riveted to the screen.
-
Overall the film succeeds in offering something special and original. And, Fede Alvarez is a director to watch out for.
