The audacious debut feature from London based Indian artist and filmmaker Karan Kandhari, rebellious small-town misfit Uma (acclaimed Indian actress Radhika Apte) arrives in Mumbai to find herself totally unsuited to life as a housewife.  At odds with her prying neighbors and under the constant oppressive noise and heat of the city, she decides to break free from the shackles of domesticity and follow her own path in this bold, unpredictable, and darkly funny debut. Featuring an eclectic soundtrack (Interpol frontman Paul Banks makes his debut as composer) and singular visual aesthetic, the film world-premiered in Cannes’ Directors Fortnight and won the award for Best Film in the Next Wave section at Fantastic Fest.

"Kandhari’s film is a marvel of inventiveness…vivid and infectious… aggressively hilarious and hilariously aggressive. Expect the unexpected in Sister Midnight and trust wherever it takes you is going to be rebellious and irresistible." - Nadine Whitney, The Curb

"A delightfully zonked marital satire that lurches in various demented directions." - Nick Schager, The Daily Beast

"With style and attitude to spare, this offbeat Indian satire elicits a playful yet acerbic takedown of oppressive patriarchal customs." - Todd Jorgenson, Cinemalogue
