Time for review on … A Movie
Sometimes – A regional watch .. Tamil (netflix)
A very very very simple real movie. This is a story about the few visitors who visit the Diagnostic center recommended, probably, by their respective medical practitioners, for a blood test for HIV.
What is commendable is, how the entire crew members of this movie have very carefully focussed and worked towards portraying a very effective message so simply and beautifully. The message being, how HIV and any person associated with this ailment is still looked upon as a TABOO in our so-called progressive Indian society. And once tested HIV+ve, how many from the lot are actually prepared to stand strong and face the consequences of even being accepted by their own first.
The movie revolves around the happenings at the waiting area of the Diagnostic Center, when a few of them decide to wait there thru the day until their reports are out at 5pm.
While I was watching this movie, I briefly felt as though I was being gently taken aback to reminiscing a few lines from the poem “The cold within…” written by James Patrick Kinney.
Six humans trapped by happenstance ….
Or so the story’s told.
Back to my review … this is a very slow and a simple movie… that will actually relate to most of us as I’m sure we all would have gone thru a “waiting” situation as similar to this .. maybe for a test, or any bill payment or some sanction or any document work etc etc .. but the wait here was more of a wait between LIFE and DEATH.
With the star cast simply at their natural best, this movie doubles up as a very interesting watch!! If you really wish to watch some realistic cinema than the usual fantasizing drama, then this movie is a recommended watch.
The most unnerving part is the end, which will definitely leave you shaken!!
