Anna Smith

Jan 31, 2018

It’s well performed and a periodically fascinating study of Bradford’s seedy underbelly that’s rarely seen on film Read full review

RogerEbert.com Glenn Kenny

Feb 2, 2018

Lead actors Byrne and Deen do grounded, stalwart work, and director Mitu Misra occasionally succeeds in making the characters’ milieu’s register with force. But the storytelling is rickety. Read full review

Jan 31, 2018

A well-meaning look at the issue of arranged marriage, garnished with some Hollywood star power, but it’s too meandering and sluggish to grip. Read full review

Very much to its detriment, Misra’s ambitious, overflowing soap opera of a debut is not content with being the character portrait that Byrne’s inherently interesting Donald deserves. Read full review
