Last at the Festival with 2017’s rural noir Dark River, a selection in the Platform programme, writer-director Clio Barnard returns to the Bradford, West Yorkshire setting of her earlier films for this tumultuous, fiercely affecting midlife love story.
A bundle of good humour and nervous energy, Ali (Adeel Akhtar) is a British Pakistani working-class landlord who forges close bonds with his tenants. One day, while picking up one of his tenants’ children from school, he offers a lift to Ava (Claire Rushbrook), an Irish-born teacher and single mother of five. They bond almost instantly through their love of music, though Ali favours the high energy of Buzzcocks and hip-hop while Ava takes refuge in the quieter comforts of Bob Dylan and Karen Dalton. Despite their divergent backgrounds, differences in their stages of life, and the colour of their skin, despite the fact of Ali’s failing marriage and Ava’s fraught relationship with her adult and adolescent children, each finds themself irresistibly drawn to the other. But can their mutual desire transcend a barrage of personal obstacles?
Inspired by people Barnard encountered while making her acclaimed features The Arbor and The Selfish Giant, Ali & Ava is a film that feels profoundly rooted in lived experience, blending a tender emotional complexity with an at times bracing depiction of trauma and grief. Akhtar and Rushbrook’s finely hued performances speak to the setting’s cultural diversity and tribal loyalties while yielding a vulnerability that’s alternately heart-wrenching and joyous. Their story serves as a reminder that it is sometimes the least likely connections that are the ones most worth pursuing.
谢苗演的精彩，有正义感，也很能打，还比较机智
网大水平，逻辑感人。哥仨都干到沃顿商学院了，还这犯罪逻辑？
为啥要叫东北警察故事，这个Ip不太懂，整部剧剧情还可以，流畅，动作戏也不错，谢苗越来越能打了，唯一剧情里有个大bug，为啥不偷走二嫂？只有杀了她这条路？有点不太合乎情理。。
本片的动作场面虽然不够精致，篇幅也有限，但硬核度足够，写实性的打斗偏甄子丹的实战风格，尤其是结尾大巴内有限空间里的生死对决，创造性及观赏性形成的性价比极高，在一众网大里也算出类拔萃，毕竟这种比较写实的打斗动作戏还是比慢动作的装逼动画强得多。
虽然故事简单，bug也不少，但还是正经意义上的打片，难为谢苗这么多年还在坚持，童星里打星出身的只看到谢苗还在坚持出打片了。成龙这么多年说着找接班人，不知道是没看到谢苗还是因为谢苗不红
放在十几年前，这部电影的动作戏也就还行，放在现在，能比这动作戏好看的凤毛麟角。谢苗要火了。
做个纯东北话版本会更好些。
没想到，还不错。
动作指导可以。编剧很工整，学校良好作文级别，没经历没生活没实感。综合来看网大里算不错可看的了，6.5分。
我觉得很好看啊，上院线肯定是上不了的，电影院看不上，但故事情节，演员演技，正派反派的安排都很合理，比现在很多院线电影要好看。这肯定要满分支持。
6.0 一般，但尤胜在打戏很精彩，李红旗这个人设挺讨喜的，反派气质有点立不住。
剧情差，几乎经不起推敲，二星，纯是看在老乡面上多加半颗星，浓浓的东北二人转风儿，全靠谢苗一个人在撑着。下次吧，从征服里找几个一看就是坏人的人过来演，就能得分不少。
影评：看之前其实没抱多大的希望，看了以后发现整体还是不错的，剧情虽然很一般，但是打斗戏确实很过瘾，谢苗的演技确实不错的。
感觉还不错啊，打斗特别过瘾，谢苗还是缺资源啊，希望以后会火
打戏还可以。剧情太低b！没有逻辑！敢不敢写的大胆一点，整个黑社会加起来都没有10个人？黑社会敢不敢在警察里安卧底？将就看吧，主旋律嘛。
打戏非常精彩，质感非常好，镜头的拍摄运镜和剪切也干净利落，加成很多，完全超出预期，可以说完爆很多大制作，剧情不细究。这个要拍2，给足钱能上天。报着当背景音放的片子，没想到打戏这么屌爆了！
谢苗打戏还挺好，但我就一边看一边想下了那么多动画片，这种级别的打戏的电影为啥还能上啊？这不算宣传暴力么？另外就是我为啥觉得谢苗长得有点像吴刚。。。
简单无脑，可圈可点。有些地方很认真，有些地方却太草率。剧情除了实际上的可操控性上来说，并无大的硬伤。中规中矩的一部作品。
整体节奏不错，只是漏洞也不少。敢黑警察，树立个人英雄主义，像是在学习米国电影
挺好 简单 完整 不作 有点笑点 动作戏在线 网络电影中的精品。
