A Tapestry of Lives
All We Imagine as Light follows the stories of multiple Mumbai-based women who are struggling with various kinds of problems. From a widow waiting to hear from her estranged estranged husband to a young girl involved in a taboo relationship, the tales weave together into something intricate.
Stunning Cinematography
The cinematography of the movie is breathtaking. Every frame is an artwork, and captures the energy of the locations and the actors. The director’s keen eye for detail and innovative use of light and shadow push the visuals to the next level.
A Thought-Provoking Ending?
There is much discussion over the ending of the movie, but it’s impossible to deny that it leaves a mark. Its fuzziness and open-endedness allow the viewer to take up the story in whatever ways they choose. I’m not sure if this was intentional or not. Either way, it left for a lot of conversations after the film.
A Must-Watch
Although it suffers from some minor pacing problems, “All We Imagine as Light” is a must see for all cinephiles. The emotional, enthralling, and poignant characters will keep you hooked.
