Review of Sir

Sir (I) (2018)
8/10
Deserves a wide release
8 January 2019
I don't understand why this film hasn't had a wider release--it hardly has any reviews here, and doesn't seem to be available on DVD or streaming. I saw it at a film festival, and it was the stand-out picture of the series. From a brief description--maid and employer find themselves attracted to each other--I assumed the story would be full of clichés, but the movie breaks them all, and never went where I was expecting. The acting is completely believable, and I was fascinated by the brief but illuminating glimpses of the social system in India, and the relationships between the employer class and the servant class. I would recommend this film to anyone who appreciates thoughtful, insightful stories.
