    Complexly Woven, like its title

    I wasn't sure what to expect when I started this movie but it captured me from the beginning with its beautiful cinematography then drew me in with the story. Just when I thought I knew where it was going, it shifted and added a new and compelling layer. What I loved most is that it gave me knew ways of looking at the issue of child labor and economic development around the world - not just in Pakistan, but in a global sense. As easy as it would be to think this is an isolated problem, it faces all countries. I admire the courage and honesty it takes to pursue such a story in one's own backyard. But simply, it was a beautifully told story about the complexities of human nature, the choices that confront us and who we'd like to be in the world vs who we really are, as well as the larger world we live in itself. Done with compassion, grace, but also a fierceness. Finally, not to miss the symbolism of the title. We live in complicated times where we want there to be clear good and evil, but the reality is so tangled. Somehow, I still felt an element of hope, at the end of the movie in spite of the fact that we face unsolvable and perennial problems. A reminder that there will always be people willing to fight, to speak up, and to tell stories. I'm so glad I got to see the film.

    Excellent Work by All Team of Gunjal

    I wish we can make and promote more movies like these. The movie has stayed with me ever since I watched it. What a quality work. Ahmed is just phenomenal and so are the other cast members. From Irfan Masih role to even the policmen role, everybody played it very well. They story was true so the justice was done by filmmakers in a great way. Hope to see more of such Cinema in Pakistan. The cinema will grow and mature from such movies. Despite no marketing this movie can promote its idea in various ways. I wish industry encourages such movies in more celebrated ways. We should be proud to have such film makers in Pakistan.

    Compelling story

    I thought this was very well done. Good actors brought this story of the evils of forced child labor to light. I will never look at carpets again without thinking of the hopelessness of these small victims. It was an eye-opener. I hope it brings change into the world. The scenery really showed the beauty of a country few US citizens know personally.

    Looking more from Shoaib Sultan.
