How would you feel if you lost all your water overnight? She is barely holding on, running out of options in the search for water. She is desperate, but not hopeless. The final straw comes when her family separates. With no one to help her search for water, she must decide if it's worth giving up on hope and instead die by dehydration or stay alive and find suitable sustenance with or without them? This is the dilemma that must be overcome in Parched. The film brings to light the harsh reality of living without reliable access to clean drinking water, providing viewers an opportunity to empathize with these circumstances through the dramatic story line. The protagonist struggles to make the difficult decision while the audience experiences the hardship of living without clean drinking water. The movie is set in India, where supplies of potable water are not always present. The story follows a young girl during the drought; her family's struggle for survival is juxtaposed against her attempts to find water for herself and her family. She also finds love along the way, which is complexly tied into her search for water. Parched was a 2018 Sundance film that won a Special Jury Award for Cinematography in the U.S. Dramatic Competition at Sundance Film Festival in January 2019. It was written and directed by Neema Ebrahimian and stars Freida Pinto. The journey of Parched received mixed reviews from critics. It currently holds a 42% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which considers it "rotten". On Metacritic, the film has a score of 55% based on 15 reviews. Edwin Bronstein for Variety: ""Parched" is a gripping little movie that's helped along by smartly edited sequences that show how hard it is to get sufficient water in India." Roger Moore for The Hollywood Reporter: ""Parched" pushes the narrative here with such authority that it almost makes us forget the story isn't entirely original. It's more like John Steinbeck than John Grisham, with the main character transported to the dusty badlands of rural India at almost almost any time." Discussion on Rotten Tomatoes: ""Parched" is so rousing and intimate, it takes us right into the heart of this young woman’s experience, leaving us feeling relatively unaffected by her circumstances." Discussion on Metacritic: "A first feature directed by Iranian-born Neema Ebrahimian offers a fascinating look at the daily life of an Indian woman told through some profound contrasts between light and darkness. It's an ambitious first feature that could use a little sharpening to sharpen its no-holds-barred approach, but it shows tremendous promise." Selim Bulut for Variety: "There are some genuinely affecting sequences here, including a few less explicit ones where the young woman is faced with the reality of her desperate situation. The film succeeds in expressing this sense of desperation without being too intense or intense at all." Discussion on Rotten Tomatoes: ""Parched" doesn't offer much in the way of entertainment value, but it does have incredible power to encourage thoughtfulness toward the many ways that water affects us all. cfa1e77820
