UnWoman (2023)

A gem of a movie

[9/10 · 12 May 2024]

Just watched this and loved it. Its a shame this movie probably won't get a wide viewing as it was awesome. Set in Rajasthan India, Bhanwar, a simple villager, lives under the influence of his dominant uncle, Bhairo who convinces Bhanwar to sell his land and buy a bride. They are duped by a trafficker who sells them Sanwri, who is transgender/intersex. When they find out, they decide to hide Sanwri's identity to avoid societal stigma and employ her for household work. As time passes, Bhanwar starts to appreciate Sanwri and they fall in love. They realise they can have a happy life together but unfortunately his uncle Bhairo is a real piece of garbage. Beautifully filmed and acted, with a gut punch of an ending. Try to see it if you can.

So, so bad. I mean, try an episode just to see just how awful it really is.

This show is what you would get if the Outer Limits was filmed as a community theatre production where the actors were told that their loved ones were being held hostage and would be executed if there was even the slightest display of talent.

It has the overall feel of one of those orientation videos you have to watch in a new job in which all the actors are ordinary staff just trying their best.

I cannot overstate how appallingly awful the acting is in this show. It is worth watching at least one episode to establish a benchmark for terribleness that you can apply to every show you watch going forward.

As soon as you come to accept that the acting is about on par with a preschool pantomime, you are free to focus on how pointless and boring the plots are.

Jesus!!!
