A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
Saira Banu, a postwoman and a single mom, is caught unawares when her son Joshua Peter, a law student, gets entangled in a legal hassle. The opponents in the case are a bunch of affluent and powerful names in society. How would the middle-class woman help her son?

I walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.

A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
