Sitara: Let Girls Dream

A very nice short movie to highlight issue of young age marriages.

The way it pictures local culture and visuals and specially the rooftop life is awesome.

I don't know why the audio is not added which made the message weak and less interesting to the audience.

Sitara is a dramatic pakistani short film distributed by Netflix. It's visually beautiful, without dialogues, and good character designs. It happens in the 70's - although I only know this because I read the synopsis - and I found interesting to see some similarities between the children of Pakistan and the kids of my homeland (Brazil) since both like to play with kites.

But I digress. This film deals with a delicate subject matter - and you will realize which theme it is way before the end, just pay attention to the difference ages of the main couple. I recommend this film, I hope to see more good animation from Pakistan!

Honestly, they could've added more dialogue it would probably have been better for some scenes. Other than that, I reallt liked this 15 minute movie

A short should move you in minimum scenes and words. this one does without a single word spoken . Its a must watch . The minimalistic expressions of side characters convey their stand on the subject clearly. Just because something isnt happy , doesn't make it non entertaining. If this doesn't move you , then you are dead inside and can lick a corona infested railing.

No pun intended - this is about taking things away (dreams, individuals), but also about what you may take away ... learn from it I reckon. Or just be informed in a sense. To be clear, this may be for all ages ... but it is quite tough stuff to watch - or rather the theme, the core of the short is really really strong ... and you may struggle with it.

The animation is good and the beginning is light enough - but if the shoe fits (another pun I could have used as summary line I reckon) ... well when the shoe fits, because from that moment on, you may realize what this is about. If you did not read about it beforehand of course (I was surprised, but I reckon most will know what this is about before they watch it) ... Topic is handled with care ... and without dialog ... moving pictures do their job ... it is a cycle that has to break ... it is not a good one ... and it is there to destroy dreams and souls ...
