When Life Gets Real
16 June 2019
Very often we glorify families. Family love is so over rated specially in our movies. But this small Pakistani movie chooses to show a family, that has cracks within and with time the cracks shows.

The movie opens with Aameena taking care of her aging parents. And when things get worse, her siblings comes home. There is love, but there is palpable anger, jealousy and grudges. The family has a secret that finally leads to a break down. And then may be healing.

This movie is about real life. That can be hard and healing at the same time. This is one movie you should not miss. One of the best movies I watched this year. In parts it is devastatingly beautiful. A must watch.
