‘Women Lockdown’ is an intensely personal conversation about dreams, hopes, passions, but also things that weigh you down, stand in the way of everything you want or desire. 
The tonality and approach remains beautifully intimate throughout as the narrative introduces us to five women. The authenticity with which their experiences are brought to life allows the film a universality that works most wonderfully in its favor. 

The visuals are experimental, suffused with symbolism and metaphors, coupled with a background score that further amplifies the sentiment the narrative intends to convey. The emotion thus brought to life is honest and poignant, as the conversation, and the ensuing visuals, continue to flow with ease and seamlessness.

Two captivating women, with a charming exchange between them, take us into a small episode from their lives. As one of them begins sharing outlandish stories about Zeinah, the narrative comes into being. 

The evasive Zeinah, who we never see on screen, who once woke up in the pool of her own blood, is the silent third presence at this cafe. Also present at the cafe are two young artists, James and Cameron, as part of another stab by the plot to invoke humor. 

The coming of all of these elements is straightforward and simple, while aiming to entertain and amuse the viewer all along. The chemistry of its actors is notable, as is the attempt of conjuring a narrative which is simply the portrayal of a single moment in time, defined by a single conversation.
