All We Imagine as Light is a quiet, contemplative, and deeply moving drama that follows three nurses in Mumbai as they navigate love, friendship, and the search for fulfillment. Payal Kapadia crafts an exquisitely made film that’s both meditative and socially rich, balancing themes of feminism, isolation, and personal growth.

In this episode, I break down the film’s slow, serene pacing, its beautifully restrained performances, and the way its third act shifts into a road movie reminiscent of Y Tu Mamá También—but with a distinct voice of its own. While some moments lean into melodrama, the film ultimately lands in a deeply satisfying way.

Tune in as I unpack my thoughts on this poetic, thought-provoking gem.

Listen now and let me know—did this film resonate with you?
