Despite the repetitive nature of thematic bullet points, it’s refreshing to see such a spirited female perspective represented in Pakistani cinema.

“Resynator”
A film that starts out with one goal in mind but midway through, takes an unexpected detour that’s surprising, sad, and cathartic to the filmmaker and her family.
“Adrianne & The Castle”
This true story of love, loss, and the role of grief in the artistic process isn’t executed well. As a result, nothing about this documentary works.
“Love Lies Bleeding”
This gritty, bloody, and brash thriller / love story was one of my favorites to come out of this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
“Ghostlight”
A sad and smart comedy / drama about the healing power of the arts that will make you laugh and cry in equal measure.
“Hunting Daze”
I like being surprised by a film, and this one did so effectively and often, subverting expectations at almost every turn.
