Princess of Rome (2015)

Amazing!!!

[10/10 · 27 July 2023]

What an absolutely brilliant movie!

It is pure, it's cute and it has an amazing message. The creators of this film proved that princesses don't need to be scantily dressed and singing and dancing all the time. Real princesses have a strong character and a spirit that cannot be broken.

The story, especially since it's based on real events, is enough to move the audience. With a touch of fiction, the film really comes around to appeal to the younger audience. There is wisdom and moral messages within which help in the development and especially the message of hope is one that the younger audience needs the most. I've seen it multiple times with my kids and we love it every time! Full stars!

How to Get Away with Murder (2014–2020)

Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!

What a strong, powerful and memorable lead female character! Blown away by the development of each one of the characters. The emotions, flashbacks, and dialogues; everything was phenomenally done. Standing ovation for Viola Davis and her two strong pillars - Bonnie and Frank (played by Liza Weil and Charlie Weber).

The plot was interesting, captivating and moving. Although the depiction of lawyers and the court scenes might not have been accurately described, however, the plot overpowers these issues. (My husband, a lawyer, was forever complaining).

This was FUN to watch with so many meaningful messages.

Manto (2015)

A masterpiece

[10/10 · 24 August 2018]

This is a beautiful representation of the life and works of Saadat Hasan Manto, brilliantly acted out by Sarmad Sultan Khoosat. It's a shame, however, that the original episodic version was not shown on TV. This is the message, the naked truth, that needs to be shown to the world.
