shirleyjanet's rating
This movie had the potential to be a thought provoking family drama, but its unsettling romantic subplot completely overshadows any artistic merit it might have had. The film boasts strong performances and a grounded visual aesthetic, the choice to explore a romance between cousins is deeply disturbing and unnecessary.
The Good things first!
The actors, especially mention standout performances, delivered compelling portrayals.
The cinematography and background score create an immersive experience.
The film's initial setup of family conflicts had promise.
The Problem!!
Any positive elements are overshadowed by the film's questionable creative choice. The romantic relationship between cousins is not just uncomfortable but it feels forced and detracts from what could have been a meaningful exploration of familial bonds. It's a theme that adds nothing valuable to the story and instead alienates a large portion of it.
Final Thoughts - Good performances and direction can't save a film from a problematic narrative. Narayaneente Moonnaanmakkal leaves a sour taste, not because it's emotionally powerful, but because it crosses a line many viewers won't be comfortable with. A film should challenge audiences, but this one does so in a way that feels unjustified and unsettling.
⭐ Rating: 1.5/5 - Could have been a great drama, but the storyline ruins it completely.
