charming easy-to-watch british indie drama featuring jessica brown findlay and jeremy irvine being adorkable weirdo creatives andrew scott in an apron the feeling like your in a forest somehow every person being extremely and unapologetically british cuteness so much cuteness just grab a coffee sit back and watch on a rainy day. itll put a smile on your face.

this movie is a masterpiece and should be studied in world cinema classes around the world, yet something about it so innately Pakistani that its true brilliance simply cant reach someone not of this land. also you need a masters degree in Urdu to understand most of the dialogue in the film, that just cannot be translated for better or for worse.
for example
"chup chaap galiyon mein roti hai"
translated, this says
she cries in silent streets
or
she cries silently in streets
or
the streets are crying silently
or.....
you get the idea. its like this for most of the dialogue and Mir's poetry (which serves as voice over for large portions of the film) has literally been studied for centuries and has hundreds of interpretations. regardless this film hauntingly beautiful and definitely worth a watch.

most people, unfortunately, do not know what it was to be a 9 year old girl in 2013. nor can they ever understand what this story means to these young ladies, now 16, scared shitless entering the world. and thus they will never truly feel the comfort this film brings. being amongst magical princesses and talking snowmen one last time. they dont know how watching this film is a pat on the back. a quiet reminder of the childhood we are leaving behind.

i never ever write reviews but this is my most hated film of all freaking time. muslim women barely get any films made about us and when we do its some white saviour bullshit about us secretly hating our religion, being "forced" to wear our scarves and need to be "liberated" by the boys around us. and everyone goes around hailing this, at best mediocre, by the numbers, formulaic shite as the muslim voice we all neeeded and go around thinking they need to free us from "oppresion". you dont want to wear a scarf ? absolutely fine, you do you, but dont make us out to be poor helpless souls who need to be freed from this absolute torture device of a soft headscarf.

Things this movie has Natasha Romanoff Scarlett Johansson Yelena Belova Florence Pugh The afformentioned playing sisters in a movie about sisters Melina Rachel Weisz Russia and Russian accents The snow suits The black suits The vest The other widows The sisters running around Budapest, flying through the air, kicking ass and taking names. Brilliant familial banter and manages the theme of found family better than the 24 fast and furious movies. Such a poser. Natasha Romanoff. Natasha Romanoff super spy avenger in a fluffy hoodie the first time we see her. Natasha Romanoff kicking ass Natasha Romanoff kicking ass to save a generation of brilliant young women from mental and physical torture Natasha Romanoff being the true definition of a hero Natasha Romanoff constantly making the sacrifice play so that no one ever has to go through the pain that she did. Natasha Romanoff being happy Natasha Romanoff flying off into the sunset to break some avengers out if prison. I ran out of stars to give after the Scarlett Johansson part
