The Goat Life Movie Review: Prithviraj Sukumaran's Powerful Performance Shoulders Harrowing Survival Drama
About The Goat Life
Aadujeevitham-The Goat Life Review: Plot
The simple Najib wants to provide for his wife Sainu (Amala Paul) and their expectant child. But communications issues after landing abroad, lead him to be taken away to a goat farm where he is tricked into servitude. The harsh conditions, the alien language and circumstances nearly break him until he receives a glimmer of hope with an escape plan across the desert. Najib's spirit somehow prevails before his body nearly collapses on him.The Goat Life Movie Review: Writing and Direction
The ambitious feature immediately takes us into Najeeb's isolating world. Much of the Arabic dialogue is not translated for viewers adding to confusing state of not being understood. The vast desert conditions seem a little exaggerated by VFX at times, but it adds to Najib's confinement from the outside world. In the first half, Najib is continually made to feel less and in the second half, even a little dehumanised amongst the animals.The Goat Life Review: Performances
Aadujeevitham-The Goat Life Review: Critique
While the feature film has been beautifully framed by cinematographer Sunil KS, the situations in the second half keep circling back on the same point. It breaks the flow of the narrative at times. And once we reach the finale, it feels as we abruptly let go of the story and characters. However, the effort by the whole team is remarkable for this intense story, especially with Prithviraj's tremendous portrayal. This review is based on the Hindi dubbed version of The Goat Life.Latest Movies
