Love Sarah (2020)
9/10
Heartfelt, Uplifting, Sincere Tale of Togetherness
31 August 2020
A delightful film in every aspect that lifts the mood and implores us to be less cynical. In these times and hereafter, more bridges have to be built and we have to look after each other and this film celebrates that to the hilt!

I was left with such a sweet, lingering feeling at the end that I felt grateful to the entire team for making it...It must have taken a great deal of conviction to do that.

Turning loss into something special and powerful takes tremendous amount of work. Loss pushes us to think of what really matters and we hopefully learn to value humanity, kindness and affection much more. That message truly comes across in this film.

All departments excel. Production Design and Cinematography as well as Music, Costumes and Sound Design offer a lovely view of London. The script helps us focus on the good in people and in that holds a mirror. An amazing achievement for the producers to have managed to film almost entirely on locations in Notting Hill and they succeed from start to finish. Remember, this is an independent film without any studio backing and it has superb production values!

Special mention to its director! It's her debut film!!!! It is extremely difficult to get a film made no matter who you are, and Eliza shines with her quiet grace, her personal sense of style and her determination to make a film of value. I am not surprised that the film has sold many worldwide territories already.

I read some unpleasant reviews on IMDb and I found them extremely counter-productive. There was no reason to be nasty and mannerless when personal disappointment could have been conveyed constructively.

In any case, I am sure this film will reach audiences across the world and in these dark times, give them a reason to smile...

Anahita's Law (2018)
8/10
A Bold Experiment
4 July 2019
Filmmaker and actor Oorvazi Irani brings to life a story that attempts to redefine Indian women's identity. The film that plays entirely in a series of closeups is a meditation on image and its correlation with the voyeur. It may seem like a long monologue and narrated story, but in its layers, it holds the invitation to reflect and internalize, thus pressing it to become a dialogue. The filmmakers design every shot carefully and fill it to the brim with symbolic richness - every bit of the frame - colours, elements, light, shadows, sounds and music accompany the words and the performance in a thoughtful, inventive manner. It is a journey within a journey and the style as well as the substance is boldly experimental. Kudos to the entire team for bringing the film to life!
