 Hey, welcome back to our YouTube direction. I'm Rick, and you can follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube! Thanks on Patreon, follow us on Twitter, and subscribe to the channel. Hi Patreon, sorry I haven't, I've been planning it's in my notes to send you guys a video, I'm gonna be doing it very soon. Ooh, nude. Always. Always naked. All of my Patreon videos are always naked. What do you think? I have so many people on Patreon. That's gross. Today we're doing a movie review of the new film that just came out. On Net Flux? Net Flux. Net Flux. Net Flux. Yep, that's where all the nets flock. Called Darling's. Yep. Directed by... Jasmeet Reen. I think she did some writing for it as well. And also written by Pravee... Parvee's Sheik. Or Shake. I don't forgive the mispronunciation. Produced by... Aliabad and I believe Red Chillies. Correct. And then starring... Which is Eternal Sunshine, her production company, I thought so. Great for you, great name. And also great little... The little intro thing that they do for it. Intro for the companies? That's very fitting. Starring Aliabad, our Future Dost. And Shafali Shah, also our Future Dost. And our current Dost, Vijay Varma. And also composed by the one and only Vishal Bardwash and Prashant Pallai. And they did it together. Abhishek casted it. Yep. Well, he's one of the three cast. One of the three casting directors. I don't know what they were in regard to. I just noticed that, I didn't notice that before. But anyways, obviously this is going to be a mostly non-spoiler review, just because it just came out. Yeah. That's what I said, that's right. Yes, it just released, so this is going to be a non-spoiler until the very, very end. When we get to the spoilers, obviously the way this film is, you kind of have to talk about spoilers at some point. Yeah. But since it's new, that's the only time we do some non-spoiler reviews is in case you haven't watched it and want to go watch it. So this will be the start of the non-spoiler review. Yes. Rick, your initial thoughts, please. Don't let mixed reviews you see or mixed rating scores that you see keep you from watching, darlings. Did you see some mixed reviews? I did. I saw like, not anything bad, but not anything superlative. And it also wouldn't surprise me that there will be mixed thoughts on whether they like it or not. I think there will be people, not for some of the reasons that you might think. I'm not talking about hashtag boycott, alia, at all. I'm talking about some of the things that we're going to get into. Ultimately for me, and that's why I specifically wanted to say at the beginning, I think you should absolutely watch it. I think the majority of you are going to like it. I don't think any of you will dislike it. There may be some things in it you may dislike, but for me, I liked it a lot. I was hoping I was going to love the movie, but not every movie becomes one that you love. I liked it. I liked it as well. I definitely enjoyed this film. I think just from knowing what you get in the trailer, you kind of get it in the film. And so that's always a plus. And it did take some twists and turns, and it brings up important subject matters. And also real life things that just happen in life. It's not a shock that this is about domestic violence. And so if you have a trigger about domestic violence, I'm not sure you should watch this film. Hence part of the mixed bag as far as people liking or not liking the film. Everybody has different triggers. And so if your trigger is, if you've been in an abusive relationship or if that's just triggering for you, just to let you know it showed in the trailer, this is about domestic abuse. It's a dark comedy, but it's about domestic abuse. Yes, and without giving anything away, while it is a dark comedy, it doesn't go so far a field that it becomes really, really dark. It definitely is if you do have a trigger, you probably will not want to watch it because there are some moments, as are revealed in the trailer, that could be triggering to somebody that's done on a couple of occasions. But we'll get into it without, again, non-spoiler. The thing, we talk about this a lot, and you'll often talk about one of the things you had wished about a film as your own personal tastes. That's for me a couple of things that I had wished things were a certain way. Yet at the same time, I understand why they were chosen the way that they were. I put in my notes that I think that the film, in fact, let me see how I wrote this, because I wrote a lot of notes. I wrote, this is a much smarter movie than many people will realize. It has, and it does, I think the highest accolade I could give to it other than just what do you expect with the three leads? You're going to get solid performances, and you do. Nothing but great performances by the actors. But I wrote that this is a much smarter movie, and it does, I think, and this is a credit to the writing, I think it does a pretty great job of taking something that's really difficult to talk about and formatting it in such a way that can be accessible to a broad audience. Part of that's my gripe. Part of that's my gripe. I would have loved to have been at the pitch meeting and then even the writing process and heard what the thoughts were behind everybody, but especially Alia, in terms of that prospect, which we'll get into probably in the spoiler section. Yeah, we'll talk about that. But the performances, let's just get into those right now and then we'll get into some of the story later. I think, I don't even know where to start. Alia, let's just start with Alia. It's her film. It's produced, starring. She's a star. Did a fantastic job. She brought the emotion when she needed to bring the emotion in certain aspects without giving anything away. And doing it honestly. And obviously bringing the comedy that I think comes so naturally to her. Yes. Just like we saw her first in Gully Boy. Her intensity, her loveability adds to her presence on screen. Yes. And it helps you care for her characters and relate to her characters. And it just seems like the comedic aspects, not that there's like, oh, here's the punchline jokes in this. No, thankfully, it's very subtle, funny stuff. It's not this kind of film. It's a dark comedy and so most of it's situational. There's a lot of stuff that's really subtle, funny. I don't want to give anything away. There's just a lot of stuff, just pay attention. Yeah. For a movie that's pretty light in a lot of spots, it's very heady. It's not a dumb comedy, dark comedy, at all. No. No, you don't get a lot of like in Deli-Belly, even though obviously we love Deli-Belly. There's some really stupid stuff that happens in Deli-Belly. Yeah, there's no real high brow, even ulterior like secondary, like here's the card, but what I'm really showing you is back over here. There's a lot of that in this. You don't need it, but this has it. She was phenomenal. Agreed. Had great chemistry with both of them. Agreed. No, just spoilers, but her mother... Especially with Shafali Shah. She probably gives the best performance and that's not a shock because I think she's the veteran of the group, right? And her character is more complex. Yeah, and so obviously there's a lot going on that we won't get into. Not that the other two don't have complexity. They're very well fleshed out characters. It's just like in the Depeca's film. Depeca was great and so was our lead from Gully Boy, but Nassaritan comes in and you're like, oh shit, of course. Veterans just have this certain presence, it's experience or the fact that they just are who they are. She's a phenomenal actress. I can't wait to talk to her one day because I love her so much. And she's one of the most underrated actors. I feel like people say certain names, but Shafali is not often, even though people that love film know Shafali Shah. People in the industry know Shafali Shah and know what kind of actor she is, but I feel like she's not mentioned enough. Interestingly, he's only fresh in my mind and you'll know why. But it's very comparable to me as like James Cromwell. Everybody recognizes him and everyone in the industry has deep, deep respect for this legend, right? But the general public, they're like, oh that's the guy from Babe. Oh yeah, I saw him on Succession. They know him as this guy who's been a working actor all his life, but in the industry, he's like, that's James Cromwell. That's Shafali Shah. That's Shafali Shah. Yeah, she's a phenomenal, she does a phenomenal job. She really carries the, like almost, I don't want to say the heart of film, because I always say Aliyah does as well. Yeah, she does. But like, she is hard to get in without spoilers, but she just does a phenomenal job. Her chemistry with Aliyah is great. Yeah. I really believe their mother-daughter relationship. I would love to see, and here I am, it doesn't have to be a remake at all. But man, would I love to see them do a film like Thelma and Louise. Oh yeah, that'd be good. I know it's different because those characters are equals in terms of like the age and the place, but that kind of a film where the whole thing is them carrying it in that way, I think they could make a juggernaut of a great movie. And then our other lead, Vijay Varma Ardost, did a really good job, really different performance for him here. Very. Because for the most part, outside of, I mean, is that a spoiler that he's... You're having the same thought I did. I want to talk about it, because I have a compliment for him about what you're going to say, but I think it's... He does really good. It's in the spoiler section. It's films hard to talk about non-spoilers. And let's just say, there's something that Vijay does with this character that other actors wouldn't do. They would go a very particular route because that is what is pretty much given in the script, and he doesn't play that. No. He goes in a very different direction, and it works because he's that good of an actor. Yes, and so he did. Agreed? Yes. Good non-spoiler. Absolutely. And we'll get into some more stuff, because there's a lot of stuff in spoilers that I think we want to talk about. This film's hard to talk about non-spoilers. It is. The reason I didn't love it before we get into spoilers, for those of you who won't watch the spoiler section before seeing the film, is it's really kind of 50-50% this. 50% of it is my own personal preferences. That bears nothing on the film itself. I see the value of those things just because it's my personal preference. The other 50% is there are some things in the story, particularly with Vijay's character, that strain credulity for me so far afield that it takes me away from it in a film that's otherwise trying to be pretty grounded. It has farcical things, but there are a couple of things for me in the writing that were... I don't know if they were ignored or they were not researched, but in my mind, it was kind of like, how could you not have considered that and at least addressed that? And maybe the thought was, well, we don't think anybody in our audience is going to think that way, and that may be the case. But those were the reasons for me. And I'll get into the details in the spoil. I think you could have probably made this film just a little under two hours as opposed to maybe two hours, I think it's 16. True, yeah. To make it a little more snappy. It wasn't long. It didn't feel like... It doesn't drag. It doesn't drag, but I just feel like you could have made a little snappier and so these would be my gripes with the film. And I always prefer darker, and so I think they could have gone even farther at times. Well, that's part of my... We'll get into the spoiler, yeah. But that would be my other gripes. My personal preference would be go even farther in certain aspects of this domestic... Of course, of course. And great score. I mean, it's... What a surprise. It's a very good score. It's a very good score. Yes. So overall, it's definitely worth a watch. Definitely worth a watch. It's a hard to say enjoyable film, but it is a very good film. It's very entertaining. For the subject matter it is, it's a very entertaining film. I want to hats off to Alia for this being her first producing venture to go with a film like this. Yes. Or something like that. And we'll get into the spoilers. That would be like a commercial commercial. Right, we're going to get into that right now. The spoilers. But anyways, let us know what you thought about the... No, never mind. Not yet, not yet. If you haven't seen the film, please go watch it and then come back. We're going to get into the spoilers that you've been warned. Thank you so much. This is just for everybody who's seen the movie. Yeah. Yeah, so... What did you want to talk about? Okay. Let's talk about what you were just talking about. Okay. Because I might forget it. I would love to talk to Alia about, and I don't know if she'd want to talk about it publicly. She may just want to have the conversation, you know, having a breakfast or something, which I would just love to know because I felt like she did a really dangerous thing, per se, but also was really safe. It's a weird mix. I saw a lot of choices that were made about doing this film in what I would consider to be a very safe way in terms of its commercial success, going OTT versus going theatrical release, making it accessible to a broader audience without it being as dark as you and I would have preferred. And I understand that from a producer's point of view. Your first film, you want to put everything in your corner so you can get a win. I get that. At the same time, there's parts of it that the subject matter, I think would have been if the purpose of the film, if the why of the film is to raise awareness about domestic abuse, I think you need to go way darker. And you can still make it a dark comedy, but I knew it was coming. There was nothing I didn't see coming, really. I wrote down on my notes before it happened. He is about to be really violent with her and she's going to have a miscarriage. I knew that was going to happen, but I was expecting it to be a lot worse. Yeah. You were basically talking about the violence aspect of it, to make it seem a little more hard-hitting and believable. More, it didn't have to go this far a field, but I was, I would have loved to have seen something more along the lines for her first producing endeavor, an artistic statement like precious about the subject. Yeah, but I think they were clearly going for more. And I bet if I knew her rationale, I'd probably go, I get it, I understand it, totally agree. It's just because I don't know the rationale. My bet is that it's it's the commercial accessibility and success. Commercial accessibility, family. I mean, you're pushing the line with families here. And that's where, as much as I didn't like the choice, I think they did about as good a job as you can to have this subject matter still be accessible to the whole family. Yeah. I agree. Not the little ones. No. But kids. Yeah, I agree. Older kids could watch this film with their family. But yeah, that was my gripe as well. Obviously, I always prefer to go a little more in your face, right? Yes. But I want to talk about VJ's character, because I thought he did a fantastic job and the writing of their relationship. Yeah. Because their writing of their relationship was so realistic. Yeah. Agreed. And what a lot of people, women mostly, but they're obviously men as well, are in domestic abuse relationships, right? Yeah. But obviously it's 99% probably female that are in an abusive relationship. Yes. But the reasons they decide to stay. Right. Because they think they can change that. Right. Because they want to give, because they don't want to break it, because what other people will say, because whatever reason, it's really realistic. And that he's not always a schmuck. Yes. Yeah. Really realistic for people to keep giving excuses for their abuser, because they love them or they want them to change. Right. And not just from a pure enabling place. Even though it's frustrating from an audience perspective. Right. Or a mother's perspective. Yeah. You're like, he's not going to fucking change. Exactly. He's the scorpion. Yes. Yes, he's going to sting you. Just fucking leave him. Yeah. Obviously, I applaud them for not doing it, because obviously I think that would have been more unrealistic. Very much. If it had just been he's mean, let's hurt him. It's the end that would have been not realistic. As opposed to the more realism aspect they went. And I thought VJ did a really good job at playing the gas slider, essentially. Like obviously being the abuser. And then the next morning, he's like, you're still mad at me? Right. Come on. Right. You have to give me a kiss goodbye. Right. And so like the writing and then obviously he's a good actor. Right. So I think his performance helped that a lot. I bet he asked a lot of questions about what they were intending. Yeah. The thing I also wanted to credit him for in a big, big way was he didn't play drunk. Yeah. He was the way a lot of alcoholics are. They don't really show the signs of the alcoholism in the, you know, the fumbling, bumbling, slurred speech, falling around drunkenness. And I really loved that aspect of it. There may be people who'd see that and think, I don't believe he was drunk. And I think they'd be missing the fact that not all alcoholics manifested that way. Another one, Shafali Shah. I loved obviously her performance, but her relationship with Aliyah. I loved their comedy. Fantastic. The comedy. The unspoken comedy. I was also told that the subtitles were utter garbage. Oh, really? Yeah. Like multiple people in our group that watched it. Yeah. And they said, the subtitles, they said, you'll still enjoy the film. And obviously I did. But the subtitles do not do justice to what the actual Hindi is saying. Like when he, she called him a coward. Yeah. She's like, that word is so much worse than calling a man a coward. Okay. Whatever that word was. Right. There were so many instances of this throughout the film. That happens. So that's unfortunate, but unfortunately, that's the only film that we can watch, because we don't fully know Hindi, right? We're picking, we're slowly picking up things, but we're not there yet. You could obviously see the care in her eyes, and then all that. I love the whole aspect of the younger man that falls for her. I knew it, too. Yeah. You could see it. I knew he loved her. I was like, he didn't have an affair at all. He loves Shafali. He loves Shafali Shah. And I love their whole, obviously when it happened, and she was just starting kissing him, and I love that whole dynamic there. I did, too. And all that. There was another thing I was going to say about Shafali. The comedy, because I love just their glances and the quiet. I love the quiet comedy moments. Good chemistry. There was one when they came back and they were with him and he's gesturing and doing things and he shows them a tomato and they're like, he went to buy tomatoes? That was really funny. Yeah, he did, obviously. A really good job. The end, obviously. At first, when he got hit by the truants, again, this is his boy. Yeah, I hope you saw it. When he gets hit by the train, obviously I was like, he's going to get by a train. He was backing up and I was like, he's going to get hit. But, and I was like, I don't love it. Right. I do love it more than, obviously, just them letting him go. Oh, yeah. Obviously. I was like, they have to do one of the two because they can't be seen as murderers because obviously this is a commercial film that's murder Ali, even though he deserves it, right? You unfortunately just can't put that out on screen, right? Right. Or they're going to let him go and then you're like, you're just letting an abuser get away. Right, because if you let me get away, he's going to go do it to another woman. I knew something was going to happen. Yeah. The twist, the twist twist, right? Yeah, the twist within the twist. Of the fact that the mom killed her dad. Her dad, essentially. And I don't know what the relationship with that other guy was. I don't either. Maybe he was just a good Samaritan, maybe he was a family friend. That wasn't clear to me. Yeah. I don't know if he was maybe even like her brother-in-law or she just, I don't know. I just know that he was connected. I too liked that twist aspect of it. The fact that, and then I was also like, was him backing into it planned. Right. As well. Right. At first I was like, obviously it was an accident and he was doing whatever and maybe it was but then the end makes you rethink that. Right. Because obviously her recording only a certain aspect. Only certain parts of it. Them knowing and going on and knowing that she was going to play the whole video on social media, knowing she was going to die. That was serendipitous because they were going to make it look like a suicide, dropping them off the balcony. Yeah. So that's why she was doing it that way. It just happened to turn out, it worked in her favor because he got hit by a train. Yeah, I don't know man. Because the end makes me really think that because they weren't ever going to let him live. I think they were. I think they just wanted to make it look like more of an accident. I think they were and I think because that makes the moral to the story happen when she says to her mom at the train station, at the train tracks, when she goes back to get VJ and she says, I'm not going to be a scorpion. I'm becoming a scorpion too if I kill him. Yeah, but then the end kind of changes all that. But I do think that's accidental. The fact that they, this was all, this was all planned the entire time. Yeah. But it was when they were going to drop them off the balcony. That was supposed to look like a suicide. But she's now the scorpion though. If they meant for, even though they obviously untied them, did they know the other train was going to come? Obviously. I don't think so. Clearly see the train, the train doesn't just come out of nowhere. Well, they could, but that would require him to walk into it. They didn't push him into it. Well, obviously he was under medication. Yeah, but still. And they were shocked that he died. I just think it worked serendipitously in their favor. I think it might have been on purpose. And now the thing, I think they killed him. The thing that I had a problem with that strained credulity for me was two factors. One was the onset of his cirrhosis of the liver. And then, so if somebody is such a bad alcoholic that they have cirrhosis of the liver, which pain is typically not the first symptom, there's a lot of other symptoms that happen first. But if you're that bad of an alcoholic, you're not going to go more than 5, 10 hours max after your last drink before you're going to start demonstrating some pretty hefty withdrawal symptoms. I'm talking tremors, vomiting, bad stuff. So the fact that none of that manifested for me was really rough for me. It was like, how did we not think, I mean, maybe we did think to cover that and we thought that maybe the audience is just not going to be aware of those things. But even still, you're going to be aware of them. Maybe you educate those who don't know that that's what happens in an alcoholic and that that is not how the first manifestations of cirrhosis takes place. In a movie that's really wanting to send a message, I found that to be weird to not be believable and real with the alcoholism aspect of it. But those are really my only complaints with it were that aspect and then the fact that I had hoped it was going to become a little bit darker. But at the same time, like I said, if I heard the rationale behind it and knowing that your first time producing something, on the one hand, the artist in her... It's also not, I don't think, not just the first time producing something. It's just Indian cinema. That's what I said as well to Indrani. I said, how much... They often don't go because... I know, but... The audiences aren't there, unfortunately. I know that, but so what do you do? Because... I think they're fine with their audiences thinking this is dark enough for this style of film. Yeah, but why then? Because then that calls into question, are you telling a story in such a way that it'll be acceptable to your audience or are you going to tell a story just because you have a story you want to tell? I think as a producer, you kind of have to look at both, unfortunately. Well, as a producer, you do, but most... She's a producer. But she's also an artist. But she's a producer. Yeah, but she's also an artist. So like... But this is her money. Well, Quentin produces everything he does. And I don't think he gives a rat's ass about what people expect of him. Well, he's also at a different stage of his career. Yeah, he's been that way since day one. I think On Your Rock is exactly the same way in Hindi cinema. I think he just... He's going to tell a film that he wants to tell. And if it's not palatable to the broader audience... We haven't seen Bombay Velvet. Yeah, I know, but I just... I understand decisions that are made. But, and a great example this week, when you make a decision that's based purely on the business side of things, which is what Warner Brothers claims was the rationale about killing Batgirl, if that's a really good film, I can't imagine it was... The purist in me doesn't want people to make decisions based on whether or not it's going to do well, versus it's going to say something well. Unfortunately, producers are always going to make sure it doesn't... Of course they are, but ultimately... That's their job. And that's the thing, she's the producer, so she could make any film she wants to make if she's producing it. But she also wants to make the money. This is why you shouldn't be a producer. Oh, no, no, no. I would be very... I'll give you an example. I absolutely would want to have creative control over, say, Barbarian being turned into a film and I don't care how much money was offered to me, whatever things they said needed to be done to change the story to make it palatable, they would have to go take a flying leap off a bridge and I don't care who it is that was telling me that's the way it needed to be done. If that meant it wasn't done, I would say, that's fine. I'm not going to have the film told in a way that I think does violence to the text that I wrote and tells it in a way that waters down the truth of what I wanted to convey from my heart just so it can make money. But also they might not have wanted to tell our dark story. That's why I would love to have been in the pitch meeting. I would have loved the whole idea. It might have been a consideration. It just may have been from the get-go. This is this weird blend of comedy and dark we want to do and that's why I don't know. Oh, also, I did want to talk with the younger guy who fell in love with your father. I thought did a really good job. I did a very good job. We've seen him in a couple things. See you soon. So did the police officers as well. Yeah, everybody was good. Abhishek and obviously I don't know if this is his team or if these are just other directors. And I want to know from Vishal Bhardwaj, there's a moment when they get in, when the cops go to break in the house and the guy who loves Shafali Shah opens the door, that character, when they're first in there. If it's happenstance, it's weird, but it was direct same musical sequence as a musical sequence from a 1986 film starring Sean Connery and Christian Slater called The Name of the Rose. It started and I went, that's the name of the Rose, man. So I'd love to know if that's happenstance, it's really weird. Yeah, maybe it was just an ode. Yeah, I don't know. It could have been a little tip of the cap to that melodic structure. I did not catch it. I've never seen that film. Yeah, it's a very good film. But I also want to shout out the production design and lighting departments. I thought a lot of shots were really beautifully lit in this. So the cinematographer Anil Mehta and the production designer Gurima Mathur, I thought did a really good job. I actually really enjoyed the lighting in this. Yeah. It wasn't like Sanjalee Bansali, but obviously that's something they were asking. No, no, no, exactly. But I thought they did a really good job. Anything else? I did too. A couple things. The smartness of the movie. There were so many times where things were interwoven and I don't know how much they were wanting to do it, but there were so many things that were touching on superstitions that it was very clear that was done with an intentionality behind it. Yeah, because then she eventually walked the black cat's path. Right. The black cat's path. And some of the lines were really good, like why do men turn into such monsters when they are drunk because women let them? And then this is an amazing line that's probably the anchor for this character, for VJ. Why would I abuse you if I didn't love you? Gaslighting. Yeah, but I bet you if I bet the writing of that and his interpretation of that was 100%, he believes that. Oh yeah. He believes 100%. If I didn't care, I wouldn't get so violent. I only get violent and upset about things that really matter to me. And there's a truth in that, which is what makes it so insidious, but that's the credit to the writing. Yeah, I like that as well. There was a lot of lines like that and then obviously just the comedy of it all and especially like the police station when they thought that they just overheard their small time conversation on the phone. They're both really good at comedy. Oh yeah, easily. But yeah, I really, really enjoyed the film. I'm so glad it came out well. Yeah, I'm glad it turned out well. And I hope Indian cinema kind of gets away from this trend of just having blockbusters in theaters. Because obviously I'm sure that's why they did this. Yeah. In an OTT. It was safer by far. And Shahid's next film, Bloody Daddy, is on, it's on VOOT, it's going to be an OTT. So I think we're just going to rend viewers a film probably if it was coming out in six months probably would be OTT. It's, unfortunately, it's just where the trend is right now. Yeah. I just hope it changes because I don't, I think more films other than the RRs and KGFs of the world deserve. They do. Or Braham Astra as well. Obviously those do deserve theatrical releases, but so do smaller films. That's why I was so happy Coda won Best Picture because that's the kind of film that deserves a theatrical release and for people to experience it on the big screen. And I know it's accessible to more people obviously when you get it on Netflix, but I was like, yeah, it's just a gripe of mine. Yeah, me too. But anyways, let us know what you thought about the film and what you liked, what you didn't like, and what should be our next of all of them. Yeah. Shafali and Vijay. Vijay. And the other man. Yeah. Roshan. Yeah, and Roshan Matt. I thought they all did a fun nominal job. Everybody should be very proud of this film. And I hope I read some news that says that this did really, really well for Alia and keep being... It's the year of Alia. Yeah, keep doing your eternal Sunshine. I love the name of the production company. I've got four films this year. Yeah, that's true. RRR or Gangabai, whatever that one was called. Yeah, Gangabai. RRR, this one, and now Braham Astra. And that's the only ones I know about. Yeah. And now I hope you've got something in the hopper that will get you... She does. It's a baby. No, no, no, no, no. Not that. I mean, I would love to see a like more film festival type of film like an Udapunjab or Razi where she's back into something that's very, you know, film festival-y. That kind of film. She's doing something with Gal Gadot. She is. I don't know how please let that be sizable and not just be a frickin... I think she's actually supporting this. Okay, good. I think. But, you know, because, I mean, the last time she did anything that was of worth for the film festival circuit was clearly Kalank. Oh my God. Alia, please come on the channel. I'll kill him, don't worry. Let us know if she thought about the film down below.
