    All We Imagine as Light

    ★★★★

    i love how this movie intertwines the stories of 3 women: prabha, anu, and parvathy. all of them are faced with what seems like hopeless life obstacles. but they are able to bear it thru finding small moments of joy with each other. 

    i rly appreciated how the movie de-glamorizes mumbai, calling it the "city of illusions". it directly calls into question the ways in which gentrification has unjustly affected many like parvathy, forced to leave the home she built. 

    all said, a very beautiful & real movie.

    too much action/gore for me and the plot did not seem well thought out lol. like it was giving generic revenge trauma & fighting oppression but didnt get into those parts at all. but cinematography ATE and i loved how they integrated hindu mythology and ofc the mumbai city boy vibes. the hijra spirituality healing scenes were prob my fav part.

    so fking relatable... this movie perfectly encapsulates the experience of being an asian american growing up in california. growing up on youtube w jkfilms, wong fu, etc. tense relationship w an older sibling who goes to UCSD felt a little too on the nail for me 🤣 the way the kids talk was so accurate. it made me think a lot ab my hometown friends & my brothers generation esp
