There's commendable bravery to the ambitious approach of this humbly budgeted production.

Ayar is as experimental and its heart is big -- not only does the core of its story about mothers and daughters keep it stable, but its flourishes remain sincere overall.

That some of the more saccharine plot points, like Ayar's affection for her daughter which briefly turns maddening, are dropped in service of weirder pursuits is almost a relief.

The basic plot of Ayar has been told before, but never like this.

I am not entirely convinced that the end result completely works, but the combination of audaciousness and ambition that it demonstrates throughout certainly held my interest.
