Namrata Joshi The New Indian Express May 29, 2025
Nacar crafts a taut and terse narrative that blends the unexpected twists and turns and engaging rhetoric of the legal trial with the suspense and intrigue of an investigative thriller... Go to Full Review Jessica Kiang Variety Sep 18, 2023
Nacar makes remarkably suspenseful drama out of one hyper-committed woman’s refusal to curry sympathy, as she crosses Rubicon after ethical Rubicon in one 24-hour period. Go to Full Review Leila Latif IndieWire Sep 5, 2023
B
A truly enticing and welcoming sub-90-minute treat. Between the social commentary, depth of composition and subtlety of performance, Nacar finds the distinctly delicious sweet spot. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Jun 7, 2024
4.5/5
Hesitation Wound is a melancholy piece of cinema but such an accomplished one that it is a delight to watch. Go to Full Review Carmen Paddock Movies We Texted About Apr 11, 2024
Hesitation Wound is a confident, tightly wound drama that never devolves into either melodrama or thriller, treading its own nuanced path. Go to Full Review Sarah Manvel In Their Own League Mar 11, 2024
“Hesitation Wound” didn’t give Canan’s relationships with both her client and her sister space to breathe, thereby allowing the full meaning of the metaphor better room to unfurl and enable the drama to be more properly felt. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
