Sayen

 This film could have been truly excellent. It explores concepts that have the potential to truly broaden the mind through cinema. But lacks any sort of concerted effort to truly delve into the subject matter it portrays.

Sayen as a character is interesting, her internal moral conflict as to whether or not to solve her problems through violence/aggression versus political action/media exposure is an interesting struggle to watch but it's completely glossed over. It's mentioned once, maybe twice, and then ignored. Her fight for not only herself but for her people is something that also could have been explored but they fail this as well.

The antagonist, Antonio. This is where they truly dropped the ball. Arón Piper's performance is great, however the script they gave him to work with is abysmal. Antonio as a character had the potential to be riveting and engrossing. The film had the opportunity to truly explore his battle with addiction. His struggle with mental illness, and his strained relationship with his father. We, as the audience, could've watched him fight through his internal struggles and battle with his demons as he reckons with himself what must be done. But nope, none of that. He's just "bad rich guy mean to poor girl". And that's it. It's sad to see honestly as he was developed halfway and could've been great if they just didn't half do it the way they did. Somehow it's worse when characters could have been great but end up shallow, rather than when were terrible form start to finish. Sayen as a film sadly fall into the former.

Sayen, is a film that truly could've been something special, but falls flat with a rushed pace, shallow characters, and a plot with very little surprise.
