Things I Could Never Tell My Mother
Things I Could Never Tell My Mother is one of the most talked-about Documentary movies released in 2022, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
Humaira Bilkis has a problem: after a pilgrimage to Mecca, her mother, who was previously an emancipated poet, has now become devout. The filmmaker has to fight to get her to accept the camera, since her religion forbids images, while hiding her relationship with a Hindu man from Calcutta. Her film plays out like a closed-door documentary, spot-on and moving.
