Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for people who love relationship stories and anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse. Sits nicely alongside Killer's Kiss or The Gift.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 33 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

In the mountains of Pakistan, a mother and her ten-year-old daughter flee their home on the eve of the girl's marriage to a tribal leader. A deadly hunt for them begins.
