8/10
Entertaining character centric Indie
20 February 2020
OVERALL: Before watching, I'd decided to not care about the political aspect of it & I just enjoyed the movie. To me, it felt like peeking into the life of some guy. Now, the primary purpose of a movie is to entertain. And I felt entertained (will watch it again).

MAIN CHARACTER: Now, psychologically the character's depiction was scaringly truthful & brilliant. The reality of its private moments reached my being & shook me. It was disturbing to see how he kept going.

ACTING: All good actors. The lady who played Candy and people who played Store owners were particularly good & memorable. I remember the lady who played the mother from Rob Schneider's movie 'Big Stan'. She was good too, very real.

WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER:

The story lacked in terms of showing the character's depth, an insight into his past incidents & what shaped him into the person he is now. Maybe if his outlook shown towards life was covered more broadly, then it'd have been more convincing & real. Also, the reasons through which the side character's formed the association with him needed more work. Overall, I enjoyed this movie.
