Kandhari has a sharp eye for absurdity.

If you want to see a talented director putting together pieces of a vision — however unclear — and an actress with the courage to leap with him into the unknown, “Sister Midnight” is worth your time.

One of those films that deserves to be seen without knowing much about it, because of its unhinged and eventually violent twists, but always supported by a surprisingly colorful aesthetic. [Full review in Spanish

In a creatively barren phase for Hindi cinema, Sister Midnight is a rare spark. Defying market norms and genre traps, it reaffirms the joy of watching films and reiterates the medium's potency.

It’s Kandhari’s vision that sets the film apart from what might otherwise feel like an imitation game gone wrong.

Definitely didn’t know what I expected but definitely was rewarded for that. Beautifully shot and moved wonderfully. Strong acting and sets!

One of the most original films you will ever see. Quirky, odd, funny, and unique.

This film reflects the real lives that some people actually go through. It’s very deep and meaningful. You need to really understand it to appreciate it fully, but once you do, it’s genuinely a great watch. It’s really good.
