Sister Midnight

I was fortunate enough to catch the New England premier of Sister Midnight at the Boston Underground Film Festival back in March, where I listed it as one of the best features of the festival. A huge benefit of catching an early screening is knowing nothing about the film beyond the title until the lights go down. I'd seen no reviews, no marketing, and not even read the BUFF-provided synopsis. That's my preference, as it prevents my experience from being colored by expectation. However, when a film reveals itself very slowly and changes shape a handful of times, it's easy to focus on details that will ultimately be inconsequential, and distract from its totality. While a rewatch rarely completely changes my mind, it helps refine my take. As such, I'm delighted the nearby multiplex regularly shows Hindi-language films.
