Miss Lovely
Critic reviews and ratings
-
Dark, disturbing and disorienting, Miss Lovely is the sort of film grips viewers by the gullet and drags them into a claustrophobic crevice.
-
If you truly love cinema and want to experience something out of the ordinary, then Miss Lovely is for you.
-
Watch this film only if you are brave enough to dive into the ‘dirty’ pool. If you are lucky, you might shed a layer of ‘sophistication’ and feel liberated.
-
This is truly an intriguing film.
-
...the film has achingly pleasurable performances from the cast and the brilliant sound design.
-
...a cinematic feast...
-
Ahluwalia gives us marvelous atmosphere, terrific detailing, just the right grunge and grain in the characters and an unexpected emotional punch: this is a film I want to embrace.
-
...is extremely satiating and delightfully risque.
-
...heartfelt , entertaining and technically superb.
-
...is boastfully sleazy, extremely courageous and sassily gritty. The movie deserves to be watched and encouraged.
-
...isn't for everyone, but if you're truly a cinephile, you should have no difficulty in finding merit in this layered, moody piece.
-
There is an obvious effort on the part of the film to leave you in a state of discomfort, so that the well-researched plot is fully appreciated for what it is worth.
-
The film is stylishly sleazy, that's what works for it.
-
...worth a watch for its taut screenplay, fine performances and the detailing that has gone into recreating the bygone era.
-
All in all, the film is bound to make you uncomfortable, but also brings the contentment of experiencing something new in cinema.
-
...it's an unconventional watch, yes, but it's also refreshing to see a different kind of Indian cinema make its place in the world.
-
Yes, it is an acquired taste. But Ashim Ahluwalia’s distinct and intriguing voice is one more sign of how fundamentally and excitingly the Hindi film topography is changing.
-
Strictly for those who love to experiment with their cinematic diet with an open mind.
-
It peels the makeup off the glamour world, shows the ugliness, dirt, slime and debauchery on the periphery, however offensive it may be. It doesn’t aim to please.
-
A masterly noirish re-creation of C-grade smut that takes a hard look at exploitation in cinema.
-
...the subject and style is far more absorbing than the film. Too bad, really!
-
Bold and brave, yes. Engaging, unfortunately no.
-
The titillation sought to be vended in Ashim Aluhwalia’s 'Miss Lovely' is strictly of the smirk-smirk variety, suffused with abstractions, cynicism and distractions, great for the international film festival circuit but so off-the-mark and shallow for anyone who has had a smidgen of interest in the C-graders of yore...
