My Melbourne review: The anthology film offers both a platform and a voice to undelineated groups in society!
Making someone feel seen and heard is by far the most gratifying emotion I have ever experienced and My Melbourne does precisely that for a large community of people! Based in Australia, this four-part anthology directed by Imtiaz Ali, Onir, Kabir Khan, and Rima Das touches on sensitive subjects about race, disability, sexuality, and gender. Banking upon amplified sentiments, the film ticks all the boxes as far as likability is concerned. Each director evokes a sense of care and empathy in their viewers. Whether it is Sakshi's courage in demanding equality or Setara's fearless pursuit of her dreams, the narratives bring out a relatability quotient, suggesting that the film is made for everyone. In some capacity, each individual watching, regardless of sex, class, or education, connects with the anthology at a deeper level - sending an excellent message to the world!
