Q&A with Annapurna Sriram

There's a lot to love in this one. Oozing with style and originality. Destined to become a cult film as the filmmaker intended.

For as weird as the film was, am I crazy for wanting it to be even weirder?

Regardless, it was a great ride, and I'm sure I'll be watching this one again. Based on Annapurna's incredibly thoughtful answers during the Q&A, I feel like there's a lot more to unpack here beyond the surface.

A great movie. Lots of fun. Tons of style. When it’s at its best, it’s sublime. But there are scenes that don’t feel as strong as others. And the story lacks that extra spark. Still, this movie is worth your time if you like b-pictures, trash, or wild parties.

Not a perfect film. Not a world I think we want to acknowledge as having its own truth, but it is one of the more beautiful films I've seen at the festival. I will give Ms.Sriram the benefit of all my doubts and say she will have a great career once she focuses on a tightly written story over just a beautiful vision.
So, a pass, but not top of the class...
...yet.
