    A brilliant movie, which many of these moronic reviewers just don't seem to get. American critics are getting worse and worse and the reception this beautiful film is getting thus far is sickening; these critics seem more interested in finding witty and verbose ways to put films down than actually understand what good cinema is all about. This is a sensational debut by a wonderful new talent with a performance of great skill and depth at the center. I implore people to watch this film. Unless, of course, The Wedding Crashers or The Fantastic Four are just too irresistible to pass up. Expand

    Saw this movie 5 years ago in Edinburgh, probably one of my favorite movies. As with Rakesh I am not sure the critics really caught the subtleties of the movie, and subtleties is what this movie is all about. The lack of dialogue isn't so much "barebones" as intentionally minimalist. The characters emotions are meant to extend beyond words, (which is good becuase being in hindi the subtitles would have distracted the viewer from the beautiful visual scenary), emotions, not words are meant to convey the weight here becuase the film is meant to be about the heros emotional struggles. An excellent film that I had given up hope on being able to see again, take the opportunity to see this rare jem. Expand

    This is a timeless tale; the time period is irrelevant as the story is a profoundly personal one about trying to reject the strong internal drive for vengeance.
  2. The plot is simple to the point of being simplistic, and the characterizations are never more than rudimentary.

    Tendency to go for art rather than action, and a leisurely pace that isn't bolstered by much dialogue or food for thought.
