Editor’s Note: This review originally published during the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Game Theory Films will release “In Flames” on April 12, 2024.
“No one gives something for nothing.”
All of the evils that emerge over the course of “In Flames” — and there are quite a few of them — stem from that prescient warning that Mariam (Ramesha Nawal) relays to her mother. The 25-year-old medical student is alarmed by the resurfacing of her sleazy Uncle Nasir (Adnan Shah), who has conveniently offered to pay all of their family’s debts after a lifetime of neglecting her and her brother. The family’s financial struggles cause her concerns to fall on deaf ears, but a lot of agony could have been avoided if her mother had just learned the film’s key lesson: some gift horses should be looked in the mouth.

Iram Parveen Bilal’s Josh was screened at the London Indian Film Festival 2013. The winner of the 2012 Women in Film Finishing Fund and the official selection for numerous film festivals all over the world, Josh is a film with a powerful message: people will not be oppressed if they choose not to be oppressed. Speaking to Iram Parveen Bilal after the screening, we asked her: If there is one thing that you want your audience to take away from the film, what would that be? She replied: ‘That one person is enough to start a change’. This is precisely what Josh is about. Inspired by true events, Josh is Fatima’s journey in finding the truth on about what happened to her nanny. Fatima represents a strong, brave and determined woman who not only wants to know the truth, but wants to bring the truth out in the open, for everyone else.
