Movie Lover
A romantic drama that examines toxic relationships through the journey of a
young woman trapped by a possessive boyfriend, the film navigates themes of control, insecurity, and self‑discovery against the backdrop of societal expectations. The screenplay explores emotional manipulation disguised as love, weaving together college romance with mature confrontations about boundaries and healing. Rahul Ravindran, the director delivers a timely, Gen Z‑oriented message, though uneven buildup and occasional contrivances limit full immersion.
Hesham Abdul Wahab’s evocative score and the unflinching depiction of controlling dynamics make the film impactful and necessary viewing, particularly for young women and parents. While bold themes resonate, the narrative leans on familiar romantic‑drama tropes. Inconsistent pacing, minor plot gaps (such as the absence of institutional responses), and over‑familiar elements sometimes feel forced, weakening realism. Still, the film’s sincerity and relevance shine through.
Overall, it offers a much‑needed message—gripping despite its flaws, and essential for sparking conversations about relationships.
