Ali Ava is a gentle, emotionally-charged drama that doesn’t placate the viewer with unrealistic ideas about love.

Low-key and lovely if a bit short on dramatic umph, director Clio Barnard’s Ali Ava is effectively a straight-up love story eyeballing bigger themes, perhaps to pad its slender story. Admirable for sure, but the result is a bit like fancy icing on a cupcake: nice, but still a cupcake.

Akhtar, an actor who was so impressive in Four Lions and Utopia, and Claire Rushbrook, recently seen as Enola Holmes’s housekeeper, make for a quietly magnetic couple. For all the obstacles they face, this remains a strangely joyful film.
