Movie Reviews

Miss FlickChick - 8/10 by Maitland McDonaghThe 1984 Delhi riots [are worked into] into the story of an American-raised college graduate who returns to her South Asian roots and is shocked by what she finds.
Toronto Star - 8/10 by Susan Walker[Director] Bose embeds her history lesson in a drama with authentic emotional mother-daughter conflict.
AV Club - 7/10 by Noel MurrayThe flat, pat talk is symptomatic of Amu's overriding problem: It has no sense of personal style.
Globe and Mail - 6/10 by Liam LaceyGood intentions do eventually trump mediocre drama and the climactic flashbacks of the riots, as Sikhs are torn out of homes and trains by murderous mobs, are the stuff of nightmares.
Los Angeles Daily News - 6/10 by Bob StraussA work of evident passion and outrage, Amu is also remarkable for its humanism and persuasive, natural presentation.
L.A. Weekly - 6/10 by Chuck WilsonThis debut feature from writer-director Shonali Bose has a powerful finale, in which the filmmaker uses imaginative camera angles and a vibrant sound design to re-create the turmoil and terror of the riots.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanAs writer, director and producer, Bose has taken on more than she can handle - a fact increasingly obvious each time she stumbles over political themes. But she has a genuine gift for atmosphere, making the many wordless scenes, in teeming streets and on crowded trains, the movie's best.
New York Post - 4/10 by V.A. MusettoFails to grab the imagination as it unfolds in familiar TV-movie fashion.
User Review - 10/10 by Gustavo RThis movie is full of everything....a sad, but true story. ....this keeps on happening in other countries to this day!!
User Review - 10/10 by Zarinah HThis is a great film that illuminates a tragic piece of history. The story is engrossing and Konkona Sen Sharma is amazing in this.
