I enjoyed how Doshi looked at the almost toxic relationship between the character and the mother and thought how she looked back through the different time frames worked well. She made me question at times who was at fault in that moment and what actually did happen in reality.
I also really enjoyed how Doshi displayed just how effected people can be from events in their childhood without at times realising those effects themselves.
However I found I couldn't warm to or connect with any of the characters and found the stereotypical characterization of the "Indians vs Westerners" to be over the top, caricaturistic and wildly negative.

It was hard to get through as it deals with heavy topics, such as dementia and mother-daughter relationship, and it's also very gritty-realistic.
A lot of talk of bladders and pissing and perspiration and odor and plucking hairs.
It could've worked better a tad shorter.

A rape scene with adult male and small child.
