Review / ‘Utshob’ and the art of tenderness

For anyone who grew up “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens, “Utshob” is a warm wave of nostalgia. For those raised in 1990s Bangladesh -- whether or not they’re familiar with Dickens -- the film offers a loving nod to the dramas and films of that era. And even for viewers with no emotional ties to either Dickens or the 90s, this film still feels like a two-hour-long hug, a very warm one.
