There is one universal question at the center of this film: “Is it ever too late to be the person that you want to be?“. While midlife crises are often portrayed through the eyes of white male protagonist on-screen, we rarely see a layered and nuanced depiction from a brown woman’s perspective. Jabir subverts the common tropes of either fully liberated or completely repressed female characters, fleshing out her two protagonists outside of these one dimensional clichés, giving an immediate authenticity to their interaction. - S/W Curator, Céline Roustan
