Joyland

...such a delicate, intelligent and emotionally rich film. What a debut from Sadiq.

A storming debut from writer-director Saim Sadiq: emotional, tender, and quietly radical. With any luck, it will herald a new era for Pakistani cinema.

A daring queer Pakistani drama about desire.

A conservative Pakistani family in Lahore fracture when modernity meets tradition in Saim Sadiq's intimate drama.

Never has a film paid this sort of attention to the subtleties of love between a man and a trans woman.

When the final tile is inevitably, predictably, calmly laid, it doesn't make the tragedy any less haunting.
