I watched Joyland last night at the #LFF Curzon Soho. It is every bit worth the Oscar hype and more. Exquisitely shot, brilliant screenplay and outstanding acting. It’s a delicately-told, nuanced story that is brutally honest at the same time. Studio Soho ApoorvaCharan

South Korea rebuilt itself out of ruin by treating culture as an industry as valuable as automobiles. It bet on its culture and it’s been richly rewarded at home and in the world at large. I wish Pakistan had even the slightest sense of its MASSIVE soft power potential.

The end of Joyland made me weep. It’s a beautiful, honest and intelligent film and it should embarrass the state that people all over the world can watch it except people at home

Release Joyland and start promoting the artistic talent that is utterly unique to our country and that thrives in Pakistan against all odds.

All those sensitive folk who don’t want to watch Joyland can stay home! No one is forcing anyone to watch anything. Don’t watch it. Your taste don’t dictate what others should be able to see. And if you’re so scared about the film, that’s more revealing abt you than you think.

There's been a move to ban #Joyland in Pakistan. If you believe in free speech or art, please show your support by tweeting the hashtag #ReleaseJoyland

HRCP condemns the government's decision to withdraw its certification of the film #Joyland a week before the film was due to be released. To do so is not only rabidly transphobic, but also violates the film producers' right to freedom of expression. Khoosat Films Senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan | سینیٹر مشتاق احمد خان

What is Maria B so afraid of? Good design? Human rights? Nice chandeliers? #ReleaseJoyland

Banning one artist is banning all of us. This is always going to be personal. Censorship doesn’t sustain in a digital media world. This is more about cutting monetization for artists. They tried to bury us, they didn’t know we were seeds. I stand with the team. #releasejoyland

Just found out that Joyland isn’t being released in Pakistan—a film that has been winning high praise from international audiences. Our decision makers are still treating Pakistani audiences like children, depriving us of art & culture under the guise of morality. #ReleaseJoyland

A thread of Pakistani films banned in Pakistan:

Sad day for Pakistani film and its audiences. Joyland is gorgeous, but like all great art, also truthful, unsettling, radical. Unsurprised it provoked self-anointed morality police, but unimaginable it won’t be seen in the city that inspired & infuses each frame. #ReleaseJoyland

Great art builds bridges across differences and Saim Sadiq’s Joyland does this masterfully. A shame that the people who most derserve to experience it are being forbidden to do so #ReleaseJoyland ApoorvaCharan Saim Sadiq
