Pinneyum is certainly not Adoor’s best visual expedition, but like his earlier works, the film tries to explore the human psyche through a very ordinary narrative technique.

Pinneyum is clearly the work of a maestro who has nothing to prove: undemonstrative but staggeringly impactful.

Pinneyum ends up as unintentionally funny and inane to the core. It’s better if this one is forgotten as a bad dream.
