Ramchand Pakistani
Time Out says
Based on real events, the set-up of a young boy growing up as a prisoner of war recalls ‘Life is Beautiful’, although without that film’s sentimentality or chilling inevitability. In fact, the warm, airy cinematography makes the prison seem a little too attractive compared to the poverty and grief experienced by Ramchand’s mother, left behind wondering whether her family are alive or dead. But this doesn’t detract from a moving story, realised with impressive maturity by first-time director Mehreen Jabbar. (Sarah Cohen)
