I am surprised at the rave reviews this film has received. In fact they are what prompted me to see this alleged masterpiece that has been submitted for Oscar consideration by Pakistan. I was sorely disappointed and don't even understand if the other reviewers and I saw the same film.To get this out of the way, the story was worth telling, the acting was excellent, the soundtrack heavenly, the aesthetics mesmerizing to say the least. HOWEVER, that is NOT all it takes to make a movie an art film.The story was poorly told. Poorly. To make a film universal, a filmmaker must assume that the audience knows zilch about the subject matter; start from the start. He/She must build up the story in a way that the audience is at the edge of their seats by the climax, quivering to know what happens. It's not even about suspense; a work of art should MOVE you. It should make you feel something. The story was so close to home because I love trains, and I live in Pakistan. If the film failed to move someone so directly involved, how is going to move people who know nothing about Pakistan Railway and the level of corruption in this country?Don't get me wrong, everything good that I said about it is true and only if the scenes were rearranged to tell the story from scratch, properly, intensely, it could have been moving and unbelievably beautiful. For me, Moor failed to be what it claimed to be. Manto should have been submitted for Oscar consideration.

After 021 this is Jami's second venture & what a visual treat Moor is, brilliant cinematography a story which was weaved intricately yet abstract, acting par excellence, most people might see this movie on a surface level & would even find it too dry for their taste but the juxtapositions scattered throughout the experience were hard to miss, I wish someone could mobilize the who's who locally & make sure that this could be made our entry in the foreign cinema section at the Oscars, the style of film making contains influences of Irani & European directors yet Jami ensures that his own style of film making shines through... Kudos once again to Jami for ensuring that Pakistani cinema maintains its own flavor/class instead of what is being churned out in the name of revival of Pakistani cinema aka Bollywood inspired rip offs

It was a master blaster, I watched it with my family, I am just lost in the vibes and tunes. It is the best struggle I have seen on screen. Moreover the locations were very catchy. I seriously loved it. One thing what I missed was a lesser part of Samiya (Moor). I loved the character of Baggu and the dialogue delivery by every cast member. The heroine (The good lady) looked fantastic (Both cute and smart simultaneously). Never seen Nayyar Ejoz in better role and with better vocals. The turning point of the movie was truly dramatic and it made us very emotional. I was there feeling it truly. Definitely a 10 out of 10

This is by no means a technical breakdown of the good or bad in film making. Rather a feeler as to what Moor (2015) has to offer. Moor is set in a cold snowy Balochistan. Focused on the life of a man struggling to keep hold of his land and his family. The Film takes us on a journey to far away barren land, shot beautifully with actors who barely faltered, delivering well written dialogs and capturing strong emotion. Moor is for the patient viewer who knows that good things comes to those who wait...and I must say Good things do come! A great watch! Shedding light on an important issue backed by wonderfully pleasing music and sound design. One of the best Films to come out of Pakistani Cinema!
