Ali Junejo, left, and Alina Khan in "Joyland."(Oscilloscope Laboratories)(3.5 stars) A gentle man falls for a brassy trans woman in "Joyland," but that's not exactly what this lyrical, well-acted Pakistani drama is about.With its multiple intersecting narratives, writer-director Saim Sadiq's debut feature takes an almost novelistic approach to its central theme: the repression of human individuality by a regimented traditional society.
