The costumes, the sets, the music, the choreography, the dialogue – all are beautiful and from the eye of a genuine vision.
Misses a huge opportunity to make a scathing commentary on the isolation similar townships and villages feel.
Sets an example for future religious films. It’s able to get its point and purpose across in a way that’s both entertaining and doesn’t alienate the broader audience.

It tells a clear story with a humorous voice, sharp imagery and an eye for nuance.
