beautiful adult fairy tale

I haven't seen a movie that I like so much since "Imagine Me&You".

The plot is smooth, the music is moving, and the heroine is even more beautiful. The match index between the two is probably second only to Piper Perabo and Lena Headey. If the only disadvantage is that the time is too short, the development of the plot is too fast, and some parts feel that some parts are not handled carefully enough. But, what does it matter? More than enough to make up for with moving performances from Lisa Ray and Sheetal Sheth.

The most important thing in a movie is the plot. I've always thought so before. However, this movie shook me a bit. As far as the plot is concerned, it can only be regarded as the upper-middle level at most. It's not up to the standard of "good", let alone "perfect", but the performances of the two protagonists are too emotional and too matched. Let me unconsciously ignore the weakness of its plot.

Whether it is Tala played by Lisa, or Leyla played by Sheetal, they are so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Independent, self-confident Tala, introverted, brave Leyla, eye contact all the time, heart-to-heart, I always have a kind of trance, that kind of love comes from the heart. not just acting. (I believe this is also the wish of many people)

I have always disliked Indian movies. I feel that the actors are too weird, but Lisa Ray is different. Although you can see her Indian ancestry at a glance, I don't know why, but I don't think she is ugly. Every time she shows a naughty and provocative smirk to the camera, it always makes people's heart beat faster (I also accidentally discovered that she likes to touch her nose).

Leyla, played by Sheetal Sheth, is brave. She always stands her ground silently, speaks her mind when faced with choices, and dares to face all the consequences of her choices. This is the most heartwarming place in the film.

Thank you to the director for finding such a good match for such a moving story. Thank you for having such a fairy tale for adults in such a cruel reality.

Very beautiful, both the protagonist and the story itself.

PS: Seriously criticize the poster, it's too thunderous. It's completely uglifying two people who were originally beautiful. Because of this, and the unfortunate translation of "beautiful girls can't come straight", I almost didn't buy the disc. If you just miss this beautiful film, you should be scolded! !

I Can't Think Straight quotes

  • Tala: [writing a letter to Leyla] Every night I empty my heart, but by morning it's full again. Slowly, droplets of you seep in through the night's soft caress. But don't I overflow with thoughts of us, an aching pressure that gives me no respite. Love cannot be contained; the neat packaging of desire splits asunder, spilling crimson through my days, long languishing days that are now bruised, tender with yearning, spent searching for a fingerprint, a scent, a breath you left behind.

  • Tala: Come here. Dance with me.

    Leyla: I can't. I have absolutely no sense of rhythm.
