Title: Malli's final decision not worth all that navel gazing
Product review: The film is sure darn nice to look at but it couldn't prevent all the introspection from grating on me after awhile. The film also lacks any hint of subtlety as the plot steamrolls through one complication after another, all designed to give Malli even more to mull over. Perhaps I'm being too harsh. Maybe the film would resonate with me more if I had a brother who had been the victim of a political assasination. But I don't. Or maybe if I could imagine just one benefit of martyrdom. But I can't. About the only thing I did notice, and this was very early on, was that the payoff for all this agonizing introspection will clearly come at the end of the film when we witness Malli's final decision. Although I genuinely wanted to know Malli's ultimate choice, I felt I was forced to wait too long and sit through too much melodrama for it.
