About This Movie

Ribbon, directed by Rakhee Sandilya, dives into the intricate labyrinth of new parenthood. This 2017 film captures the raw emotions of a young couple grappling with the overwhelming joy and anxiety that comes with their baby girl's arrival. The pacing feels deliberate, almost languid at times, allowing the viewer to really sit with the couple’s evolving relationship and the pressures of modern life. Sandilya’s direction brings a real authenticity to the performances; you can feel the weight of their worries and the tender moments they share. The film’s distinctive take on family dynamics is heightened by its realistic portrayal of urban life, where the challenges of balancing work and home life resonate deeply. It’s a thoughtful exploration of love, responsibility, and the messiness of it all.
