#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReview #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit Film: #Vanwaas Rating: * * Oldfashioned family drama with heavy dose of emotion, melodrama. The story had merits but the treatment does not allow for genuine affection. It’s too preachy, long-drawn & tedious to sit through. The performances are the mainstay here.

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReview #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit Film: #Bougainvillae Rating: * * (#Malayalam) Psychological crime thriller that drags around for more than half its runtime before getting to the point. Psycho part feels like it came way out of left field. Too long drawn & unjustified to curry favor with an audience.

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReview #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit Film: #GirlsWillBeGirls Rating: * * * 1/2 A coming-of-age exploration that tenderly highlights the female experience, this film keeps you absorbed and engaged through its complicated fabric of interpersonal relationships & heartbreaks.

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReview #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit Film: #Outhouse Rating: * * This attempt at heartwarming exploration of companionship, connection & unexpected adventures fails to draw you in because of sloppy direction, discontinuous camerawork & unpolished scripting. The actors are the only draw here.

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews #InternationalFilmFestivalCircuit Title: #KarateGirls Rating: * * A rather insipid coming-of-age drama with sports as a backdrop, this series about young adults navigating their life problems has little gravity and fails to keep you hooked. Martial arts itself is not the mainstay, its only a means to achieving an end.

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews #InternationalFilmFestivalCircuit Title: #BandishBanditsS2 Rating: * * S2 music never reaches the high notes, drama is feeble and the jugalbandis don’t have the power to draw you in. This new season has little to offer. Even the face-offs have little purchase Cast: #SheebaChaddha #NaseeruddinShah #RajeshTailang #DivyaDutta #AtulKulkarni #KunaalRoyKapur #YashashwiniDayama #ShreyaChaudhry #RitwikBhowmik #RohanGurbaxani #SaurabhNayyar #PareshPahuja Director: #AnandTiwari Runtime: 8 eps/50-60min #AmazonPrime #PrimeVideo #LeoMediaCollective #MoesArt #everyone #everyonefollowers
