Sister Midnight (2024) | dir. Karan Kandhari

Really delightful style, invigorating editing, and lovely, Anderson-esque cinematography. Radhika Apte gives a fantastic performance, with good enough physicality that the film almost becomes a silent comedy at times. The vignette style is a little difficult at first, but quickly enraptured me, carefully and effectively creating the setting and characters. Don't want to get too much into the plot, because the twist is so well executed, but suffice it to say that Kandhari creates a deft and cutting piece of magical realism, that does a good job of according its mythological symbol with the kind of isolation the film depicts.
