3.5/5
Rai has co-written the film with Kislay (the director of the terrific ‘Aise Hee’), creating a gentle, felt tapestry of dreams and desires. Go to Full Review Sukanya Verma Rediff.com 2d
4/5
Instead of romanticising an idyllic setting to gloat in empty symbolism, Rai uses the sight of lush landscapes and sounds reverberating across pin drop silence to voice an unrest that speaks to womankind within and outside of the North East. Go to Full Review Tatsam Mukherjee The Wire (INDIA) 4d
Tribeny Rai’s Shape of Momo takes the idea of a ‘homecoming film’ – where characters are usually forced to visit home and resolve their friction with the place – and flips it. Go to Full Review Poulomi Das The Federal 4d
Rai has a great deal more to say, and if her debut is any evidence, it would be worth clearing space to hear it. Go to Full Review Devesh Sharma Filmfare May 29
4/5
Rather than shouting its themes, the film whispers them... In doing so, it achieves something rare, it transforms the deeply specific realities of Nepali-speaking Himalayan women into something profoundly universal. Go to Full Review Renuka Vyavahare The Times of India May 29
4/5
If you appreciate slow-burn, deeply personal stories rooted in atmosphere and emotional nuance, Shape of Momo is absolutely worth watching. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
