My Liberation Notes

2022

★★★★ Liked Watched

This series felt like a quiet whisper to my soul. It wasn’t loud or dramatic, but in its stillness, it spoke the very things I’ve always struggled to put into words. The characters moved through their days with a gentle ache that mirrored my own- tired, yearning, yet still clinging to a fragile thread of hope. I saw myself in their silences, in their quiet longing for liberation, for something to make the ordinary feel meaningful. I didn’t just watch this drama- I felt it! And i loved it for the rare & tender way it made me feel seen. 💙

This film stands out as one of the most radical works of the Japanese new wave movement. Its monochromatic cinematography & sound design is exceptional & remarkably advanced for its era.

This tribute to the esteemed writer M.T. Vasudevan Nair lacks depth & fails to honor his literary legacy. Adapting his narratives for contemporary audiences presents significant challenges but is not impossible.
Kamal Hasan's initial presentation itself was disappointing. I have no idea why he was assigned this task. "Olavum theeravum" felt like a cheesy high school drama but was neatly crafted. Mammootty's & Parvathy's segment was particularly unsuccessful. God, I just realized that Mammootty doesn't know how to smoke a cigarette properly.…
