Sister Midnight is a film as strange, hilarious, and unpredictable as its protagonist.
The directorial debut of London-based Indian writer/director Karan Kandhari, this wild ride of a film sends you nighttime wandering through the streets of Mumbai with a truly weird and wonderful heroine, a new bride in an arranged marriage who is as erratic and hungry as she is unfiltered.

Kandhari masterfully embraces the monstrous-feminine to blend genres and disrupt gender role expectations, set to a simmering score by Interpol’s Paul Banks in his debut as a composer, all while delivering a bloody great time at the cinema. (Seriously, watch this with a crowd.) Culminating in literal torches and pitchforks after a tremendously unhinged performance by lead Radhika Apte, Sister Midnight is truly one for the weirdos.
