Rarely a movie comes along that succeeds to capture the human condition through a regional story. This movie is able to elicit emotions from their audience through visuals alone. You don't even need to understand the language or read the subtitles. The visual story telling is that captivating.

Plot summary: The story follows our main character Pema, who is married off to 3 brothers as the movie begins. The first thought anyone from a privileged background will have might be "how primitive". However, you may realize why it is so as you watch along. The movie follows her life in this village with the great Himalayas in the back drop. Their day to day happenings and how ignorance affects their lives. I feel like it also captures the true essence of eastern belief of Dharma as I've never seen before.

Characters: Amazing characters with motivations and flaws. The performance of the lead character is so captivating that it emersed me through out the runtime and I couldn't look away. Her character arc from a bright eyed innocent girl into a person with firm beliefs and confidence is subtle and powerful.

Visuals: All everyone is talking about. I really liked the use of colors. I want that yellow sweater now. The shots of the environment juxtaposed to the characters were amazing. However, I was thinking of Lawrence in Arabia and this movie could have used some wider shots of the snow and the mountains maybe to characterize the environment a bit more.

Overall, thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It is a slow burn so be aware of that. You won't find over the top drama or thrilling plot twists. What you'll find are human emotions and a journey inwards.

It's Rick and Morty with anime troupes what were you guys expecting.

I don't know what was happening in the episode but watching the characters doing anime stuff was hilarious to me. Episode also introduces a new character who is a 100% anime girl.

The anime looked okay. It wasn't anything ground breaking but I liked the aesthetics.

If you think you're going to get the same American show with just a different art style and voice acting this is not for you. I think this show is trying to use an existing IP to do something new and for a new audience.

If you wanna see a unique take on these characters then give this episode a shot.

It's just one episode guys. Chill.

Reading all these negative reviews, it seems to me that audiences want a movie's main protagonist to be a Superman like character with his morals and justifications but there is no person who is like Superman in our world.

This movie is not about Superman or an anti hero with principles like Batman. This movie is about a complicated character who has a large heap of emotional scars and a rough psychological upbringing. It shows a mirror into our societies where being a good father meant a stern, strict commanding figure and a good son meant a submissive, disciplined overall good boy.

It film doesn't want you to love this character or idealize him, it's up to us. The movie is showing us the flaws to this character and peak into his psyche in order to get an understanding of where he is coming from.

People suppress what they want to say to their parents their whole live. Movies rarely show us the dark sides of a relationship and why co dependent toxic relationships seem to exist for so long. Men dealing with their inadequacies.

The movie is showing us the realities of our current society.

Also, this is a commercial movies aimed to earn a lot of money. The added action, violence and added cameos are sprinkles to illustrate the themes I've mentioned above.

Overall I was fully entertained by this movie.
