Review of Liar's Dice (2013) by Tanvir M — 17 Feb 2018
India's Oscar submission for 2014 is a quietly understated but powerful road movie about a woman with her daughter on a quest looking for her husband who went to the city as a labourer and disappeared.
Makes a statement about rural urban migration and the state of unskilled labour without being preachy and resonates long after the film is over. Nawazuddin is as good as ever, but the revelation is the relative newcomer Geetanjali Thapa (who won National Award for Best Actress) for nailing the role of a strong and woman wavering between determination and doubt in the face of uncertainty.
