Makes the unbearable reality - Watchable...& Beautiful.
10 December 2023
The director has taken themes that people do not want to not talk about and transformed these realities into something beautiful and bearable. Aging, loneliness, poverty, frustration, violence are all aspects of our lives that we knowingly ignore as they are too difficult to deal with in the Now of our zombie mode. The director put these into a vessel of hope, kindness and beauty so that the viewer can put down her guard and look into their own mirror without disgust or disdain. Loved each character, but my favorite were Jackie and Monica Panwar. Both are caterpillars in transformation. Great cinema. Watch it.

Beautiful, Groundbreaking and bold - Peek into the future
27 June 2021
Thank you, Apple for bringing such content. It goes where not many have gone - in bringing to life both the work of these amazing women scientists on their field and the flavour of how our own communication may evolve a million years from now. As humans we probably look down upon the rest of life form with an assumption that we are the smartest and wisest - we have taken our supremeness as an assumption, maybe a false one.

This film reminds us to look up and beyond to things we may not fully understand due to our very evolutionary limitations. The patterns of Whale songs give us a flavour of how our own communication may evolve a million years from now. The sounds and the beauty of this film as well as the lives of these amazon scientists will stay with you after the film.

If you can watch just one film - this has to be it
7 October 2020
What a beautifully made film !

A deep perspective and meaning given the natural earth canvas by having 360 degree coverage over multiple centuries on where we are and where we are headed and a vision for future from none other then Sir Attenborough.

A very important piece of visual reminder for each of us. Dont miss it !

Touched me - time transforming Art
29 September 2020
What a beautiful piece of cinema this is ? Brings out the quintessential beauty of Konkan and the simple way of living. Transformed me to my childhood days (like not many art forms are capable of doing). Truly coming to age of Marathi cinema

A brilliant exploration into the "Unknown"
16 August 2020
Unknown is relative to our senses and understanding. What a beautiful way to capture this. And yes - it has somany co-relations to the way evolution and how many great religions emerged. A guide to our past as much to our future. Thank you Apple for such a great series. I hope and long for more.

Transcends the limitations of language
27 October 2019
This movie is a meditation on the mystery of being. It's like having a dip in the Ganges. An epitome of Art for me. It has touched me in a way no other art ever has. For the last many years since the release of this film, I have repeatedly gone back to immerse in it's beauty. Thanks Terence Mallick for creating this.

8/10
Underrated on IMDB. Critics rating justified
15 November 2018
Overall an excellent piece of cinema. Captures the spirit of Obama's youth. The days that made him what he is are captured very well.

I love the way Obama's calm and confident character is captured, as it develops from a confused and directionaless boy.

Outlaw King (2018)
8/10
A story well told
14 November 2018
An amazing story like this, deserved an amazing director and cast (which it got). Having lived in Scotland for few years and seen its people as an outsider, I must say that this movie does full justice in capturing its proud heritage and of the Scottish Soul through the journey of Robert Bruce, the king of Scots. Go for it.
