What a movie and what an experience! I can write thousand things about this movie, it was very engaging for me. The climax gave me goosebumps and I admire the courage of the creators for taking the movie in a new and unique route rather ending it plainly.
There were lots of tension going on throughout the movie and the creators take us through a long journey which never ceases to amaze us. I was constantly focussing on the dialogues of each and every characters to find something but the last few minutes take the movie to a different level which we could never expect and that was pretty surprising for me. This is because we are used to movies ending in a plain manner.
All the characters were fine tuned for the movie. Expecting more movies like this from Mollywood in the future.

A Brilliant attempt with great attention to detail to the screenplay, laced with natural performances providing a real insight into the society and their biases which get exposed when selfish motives are in question
A must watch for all movie lovers
The lead actress Zarin has portrayed the emotions of the character in a very subtle yet convincing manner All the cast did justice to their roles
Kudos to the director and writer who keeps up hooked and personally I felt the ending was real good
The name "Aattam" does justice to the whole concept of this movie and it is commendable how each and every character is well written and detailed During the first half you may feel a lack of pace however this is absolutely essential and is balanced by a gripping second half
Overall one of the best movies produced this year by yet again from the Malayalam Industry which is known for its unique, real and heart touching stories !

Aattam is an eye opener. Probably the best movie I've seen in years put together. The movie and its direction has mastered the subtle art of tugging your inner conscience. One of those movies that you keep thinking about long after you've seen it. It has definitely changed me as a person. A classic for all times. The scenes in the movie are just so original, it's hard to think of it as a movie than real life itself. The lead actors, all 13 of them, have showed so much justice to their characters. The uniqueness in their individualism is a testimony to world class writing. Aattam is a must watch by everyone, not just Malayalis. Everyone.
A fantastic movie that really takes the dark, self-serving, materialistic human nature and puts it out in broad daylight. This is a great commentary on virtue signalling, hypocrisy, trust, betrayal, hierarchy, and human values.
The writing and the direction are really well done - the movie feels real, and you find yourself getting emotionally invested in the plot. The relatable subject matter also helps in the engagement, and while a movie of this sort often runs the risk of coming across as quite preachy - Aattam never falls into this trap.
But what sets this movie a class apart from the rest is the quality of the acting. Every single cast member has done a phenomenal job. I found myself hating, sympathising with, and being disappointed in the characters at different points through the movie - and the fact that this movie brought out such strong emotions from the audience is testament to the skill with which each actor portrayed their characters.
Overall, this is a movie that makes you think long and hard about what you would have done if you were put in a similar situation, and this leads to some good introspection.

This movie should get 11/10 for its dialogues. It is sheer perfection. The movie stands out as one of the best Indian movie of last 5 years. It's a breath of fresh air to the actual cinema lovers when there is someone out there respecting the art of filmmaking. The movie has shown ways in which a movie can be made without getting bored for even a second.
You all don't waste time reading my review, just go and watch it already. Pure cinema.
Don't mind the next few words. This is just to fill up the space.
After a theater group's party, their sole actress is subjected to a crime from one of the men. Stories unravel, suspicions surface and clamor ensues as a meeting is called to reach a consensus.
