Critic Reviews

Elizabeth Weitzman

This is not a film for the impatient. But director Aparna Sen finds the poetry in romantic restraint, which is a mighty rare resource these days. Read full review

Lawrence Van Gelder

Not a subtle film; and, most curiously -- to put it mildly -- for a sermon on tolerance, it resorts to history's eternal scapegoat. Read full review

Megan Lehmann

The central narrative is ultimately too one-dimensional to sustain interest. Read full review

Derek Elley

A drama of impeccable intentions flawed by arch dialogue and only OK direction. Read full review

Joe McGovern

The actors appear game, yet director Aparna Sen, who conceived the film in the wake of September 11, resorts often to hokey pseudo-lyricism and prefers sound-bite ballyhoo to sociological depth. Read full review
