A dramatised look at Islamabad’s rich, idle hipsters, Hammad Khan’s low-budget debut is a laudable but laboured twist on slackerdom.
Latently political, Khan’s on-the-fly filming documents a vibrant, modern side of Pakistan in lockstep with western pop culture, yet ignored by scaremongering media. Trouble is, noble intentions aren’t matched by execution.

Ultimately, the flat visuals and low-intensity angst make Islamabad feel a lot like Hollyoaks.
