      Audience Member Awesome film . Shabana Azmi is just brilliant in it . Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 'Sati' tells a simple but disturbing story of a mute village girl who is mostly neglected by her family and asked to do household chores. As tradition would have it, she's seen as a burden by her family because of her inefficiency and who in the village would want to marry a mute girl? She's forced to marry a tree and things only get worse when she's pregnant. Aparna Sen carefully directs the film. The sets are all very simple and the background score is minimal, adding rawness to the village environment. One needs to have the mental preparation to sit through it as it deserves to be watched. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
