Golshifteh in an Indian movie. Hell yes. She learned hindi for this movie alone. That’s some dedication. Kind of an abstract ending but I loved it. She and Irrfan did a great job in this.

Another movie based on Grisham’s novel. This movie is about a man taking law in his own hands and murders the rapists of his daughter. The film explores a lot of the race problems in the south. Hell, the movie has the whole KKK Klan in there. A lot of n words being thrown around.

On the birthday of the Great Gandhi, I decided to watch Attenborough’s directed biographical film of Gandhi. I loved every moment of this. Such great acting and the cinematography was gorgeous. The depiction of rural India, the train, the sunsets. Pretty nostalgic for me as I have grown up in those parts of the world.
Glad to have watched this movie on 2nd of October.
