Ali & Ava (2021). Ali & Ava: Directed by Clio Barnard. With Adeel Akhtar, Claire Rushbrook, Ellora Torchia, Shaun Thomas. ALI and AVA, both lonely for different reasons, meet and sparks fly. Over a lunar month a deep connection begins to grow, despite the legacy of AVA's past relationship, and ALI's emotional turmoil at the breakdown of his marriage.
“The two lead performances are good and the night time shots of Bradford are well done. Ultimately for me though the piece as a whole just doesnu0026#39;t quite deliver. It feels as though bits are missing – in the early development of Ali and Avau0026#39;s relationship and towards the end of the film. A bit of a shame really.”
