The story of two sisters torn apart has its moments of brilliance, particularly in Hasna's journey to find herself. However, there are times when the pacing drags, making it feel longer than necessary. The performances are heartfelt, though I wished for a bit more vibrancy in the storytelling. It’s a film that attempts to tackle heavy themes, but at times, it feels too weighed down by its own seriousness. If you're in the mood for a reflective piece on family, it might just resonate, but don't expect a light-hearted watch. Show less
