Ribbon
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...is a deceptively simple, remarkable film with a risky concept that has paid off. It is without question one of India’s best of 2017 so far.
-
...is richly textured with performances, beautifully layered with content, and sprinkled with occasional humor.
-
This is the opposite of a feel-good film. What's particularly unsettling is that it refers to a reality that's closer to home, and not borrowed from an occurrence in an isolated Gurgaon highway or a small-town tragedy.
-
...is a bitter sweet and rare adage on complexities in relationship and unprepared parenting that can be a story of any doting young working parent in any metropolitan city.
-
...starts off with one storyline and ends with another, but fails to capture the gamut of both.
-
The movie falls short as a study of modern marriage because of Karan’s absence, but it is far more effective as an examination of contemporary parenting.
-
...is an insightful and mature relationship drama that showcases the trials and tribulations of parenting in the city.
-
Not all ideas translate well to film and though are some moments of note, if Ribbon works at all, it is credit to Koechlin’s and Vyas’ committed and convincing performances.
-
...rakes up a lot of issues that deserve at least a discourse in the current scenario, but instead, ends up only fleetingly touching these. Neither the characters nor the narrative take upon the evils and the evil-doers.
-
Though the movie piques your interest in bits and pieces, especially in the second half, the abrupt end will leave you disappointed.
-
But as often as the film astutely touches upon the tough choices, and the problems that can crop up, it leaves them, and us, hanging. You are left wanting a little more.
-
Despite an evident lack of flourishes and drama; a straight, linear narrative; no major ups and downs, nor sideways swings and an unadorned style Ribbon manages to engage.
-
The problem with Ribbon is that debutante director Rakhee Sandilya doesn’t provide any new insights.
