Stree (Hindi) is a horror comedy with just about everything done right. When its not frightening you, its leaving you in splits. And somewhere it manages to leave a social message as well, without turning into a meaningless mishmash. Well done
15.5/20
The wonderfully executed true to the novel movie sees Henri Charierre being pushed out from the life of a charmer in Paris straight to the wilderness and horrors of French Guyana. In a ceaseless sequence of horrors, the resilience of one man is tested to the limit and beyond, and eventually one insight far in the future allows for a gateway to final freedom. Maybe Papillon is about never giving up. Maybe its just a story where the protagonist could have simply died of he treated life with some insouciance. A midt watch
