Leave your thoughts about Court.
| VarietyJay WeissbergManaging to be both extremely rational and extremely humane, the film works so well thanks to an intelligent, superbly understated script and a feel for naturalism that extends beyond mere performance. |
| RogerEbert.comLaya MaheshwariIndian filmmaker Chaitanya Tamhane’s first feature is a masterpiece, one of the best films of the year. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlThe film is richly detailed, and its acting seems almost invisible — the performers just seem to be these people. Court is one of the strongest debut features in years. |
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloFor the most part, Tamhane improbably succeeds in creating a damning courtroom drama that derives much of its power from observing the cogs in the machinery when the machine is switched off. |
| The NationStuart KlawansWith a poise that's rare in directors making their first feature, Tamhane delivers both a deadpan satire of a rotten legal system and a nuanced portrayal of the people who inhabit it. |
| New York PostFarran Smith NehmeTamhane’s quiet techniques build to pure, cold fury. |
| New York TimesStephen Holden[A] quiet, devastating critique of the antiquated Indian legal system. |
| Slant MagazineKenji FujishimaChaitanya Tamhane's grand canvas is Indian society as represented by its legal system, and what it reveals is none too flattering. |
| The PlaylistKen GuidryCourt acquires its power through its thoughtful depiction of the mundane and the ordinary. |
| Hollywood ReporterNeil YoungWhile this near two-hour feature debut does betray occasional signs of inexperience, on the whole it's a work of striking confidence. |
