Movie Lover
Sister Midnight tries to be this wild, punk-feminist fever dream, but it just
ends up all over the place. Karan Kandhari directs, with Radhika Apte in the lead, and the film goes for a mash-up of satire, horror, and surreal comedy—but honestly, it’s more chaotic than clever. The idea itself is bold, but the way it’s put together doesn’t work. One minute it's quirky married-life stuff, next it’s creepy horror, and then we're in vampire territory—it’s hard to keep up. Radhika Apte throws herself into it, but even she can't rescue a story that feels more like scattered ideas than something with actual direction. Chhaya Kadam as Sheetal barely gets any screen time, and the film’s take on patriarchy kind of gets lost in the noise. Visually, it has a few cool moments—nice lighting and use of color (thanks to Sverre Sordal)—but that alone doesn’t save it. The heart’s missing.

#SisterMidnight is a thematically diverse and bizarrely absurdist drama that
makes for a wacky watch. Think of a Wes Anderson film in an anti-Wes-Anderson environment, and the
