~Worth Watching~

Delicious
—A fantastic job on the soundtracks powered by soothing voices that blended with each scene
—Any couple can identify with James and Alice, especially in today’s society where work, bills, achievements, and high standards put pressure on the family. James (Prithviraj Sukumaran), like any man, wanted to prove himself successful at all costs not knowing this took a toll on his marriage
—Some reviews criticized the post-climax scenes for dragging the story, however, they were crucial to understand the morals addressed.
The film could have contained a typical chain of events but more than entertaining the audience, the writer wanted to illustrate the solutions to the couple’s problems. Not often are stories told in this manner
—Sujith Vaassudev must love the camera for sure! The versatile angle choices were just insanely great, the camera movement added another dimension to the storytelling, lighting was on point. Simply well done
—A round of applause to the editor for the seamless transitions between shots and powerful effects that complemented the score.
Having the climax scene in slow motion accentuated the gravity of the ‘incident’ and called us to reflect
—Dubbing tends to be poorly executed in movies, but this wasn’t the case for Alice (Vedhika) and St Peter (Sijoy Varghese)

Bland
—Teeny weeny negative was the ‘heavenly’ songs post-climax that were a bit loud and ever-present
