From its superb ensemble cast to deeply striking examples of blocking to an emotional gut-punch of an ending, Aattam functions effortlessly as a captivating thriller and a vital, haunting portrait of how abuse of sexual trauma survivors takes many forms.

AATTAM is a first-class, multi-layered and thematically pointed chamber play with a strong ensemble and that special grounding of Malayalam cinema.

Ekarshi performs a particularly deft sleight of hand, setting up a locked-room mystery of sorts, before revealing Aattam to be a far more ambitious project than he’d initially let on.

4.5/5

Conversations on the all-pervasiveness of patriarchy and violence routinely draw this clichéd caveat from defensive participants: Not All Men. Aattam is a quiet reminder that ... the appropriate rejoinder often is: Yes, All Men.

The writing is consistently surprising with the film working both as an intricate study of the male psyche and an impressive thriller.

Anand Ekarshi’s film masterfully peels the thin veneer of progressiveness that men carry as a mask, and also shows how even the friendliest of spaces can turn hostile to women who dare to stand up for themselves.

A beautiful exploration of human behaviour and harsh realities of living in a world where morality and legality should be balanced while power and opportunities are not. One of those movies that really make you think how the makers even managed to make such a movie.

Attam (2023) is a courtroom drama with a suspenseful twist, reminiscent of classics like 12 Angry Men. Most of the story unfolds within a single room, creating a tense and intimate atmosphere. The film is dialogue-heavy, requiring close attention to every word and exchange. If you’re not comfortable with constant dialogue, it might feel a bit overwhelming. The story keeps you guessing with multiple suspects, building up the suspense gradually. It ends on an open note, leaving viewers to ponder the outcome. The performances are natural and grounded, adding to the realism of the narrative. If you enjoy thought-provoking dramas, Attam could be worth checking out on Prime Video - India.

Slow-paced yet you never lose focus. No camera trick, no sound just pure dialogue and story telling.
