#picksandpiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryReviews #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit Film: #RabiaAndOlivia #DisneyHotstar #AltairMedia Cast: #SheebaChaddha #NayabKhan #HelenaPrizenKlague #MustafaSheikh #ShadabKhan Director: #ShadabKhan Rating: * * * Runtime: 95 mins @everyone
A fairly compelling immigration drama that earns its affection from the drama that ensues between a troubled young Canadian girl undergoing grief from the loss of her mother and the wannabe immigrant, Indian caregiver/nanny who has applied for refugee status. Though melodramatic, the narrative manages to get the audience involved and empathetic regarding the hurdles the caregiver faces. Issues of racism, mental health, loneliness and brotherhood in a foreign land creep into the tender story about love being the best medicine for issues of the mind. Nayab Khan as the caregiver Rabia, Helena Prinzen-Klages as the troubled child Olivia and Sheeba Chaddha as Rabia’s mother put in affecting performances. Director Shadab Khan does well to restrain the narrative from becoming an all-out weepie. A decent watch this! -
