5 Weddings (2018)
Loved the film - but its not really Bollywood?
I have seen Bollywood films and love Priyanka Shopra. Really adored this film especially the angle with the Hijeeras - did not know anything about them - and its shocking how transgenders are treated in some parts of the world.
I went for this film because I read that it got banned in several countries because of the transgender characters. What I found was a beautiful film - some comedy, some drama - along the lines of The Big Sick or 100 Foot Journey (both of which I love).
If you are a fan of either of those, do catch this one - but not for a Bollywood treat. I also loved the lead actress and will add her to my list of faves.
Tsotsi (2005)
Tsotsi - what cinema SHOULD be...
I am a fan of international films and honestly - I rewatched Tsotsi today and it made me sign up and review this film just for the fact that - if they can make this film - I can take two seconds to post a review that this film is BRILLIANT!
I did not know much about rural Africa and after having watched this film I have been to two African countries and loved it.
My niece is volunteering with her church this year to go to Africa and share also loves this film. My point is - this film is for all ages and a MUST WATCH!
Tangerine (2015)
THE BEST FILM I HAVE EVER WATCHED...
Or one of the best! I would much rather watch this than a bunch of cars going up in flames. Also, loved the Florida Project by the same director. Please check it out: The Florida Project. You will not regret watching either of these. If you are in the mood for an indie that also teaches you something you didn't know these films are for you!
