Movie Reviews

Total Film - 8/10 by Philip KempSatyajit Ray's study of the destructive power of superstition is typically compassionate; there are no easy villains. Intelligent and moving.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzRay's lyrical images reflect on how the fervor of Hinduism can sometimes lead to misplaced worship.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumOne of Satyajit Ray's greatest early films (1962), full of sensuality and ironic undertones.
Cleveland Press - 8/10 by Tony MastroianniPerformances by Soumitra Chatterjee and Sharmila Tagore as the young husband and wife are movingly poignant.
Time Out - 6/10 by Geoff AndrewComparatively baroque and melodramatic in terms of its images and story, it manages to mount a lucid, finally very moving argument against the destructive nature of fanaticism and superstition.
User Review - 10/10 by Michelangelo Pwow i have just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a pretty good movie 2 watch...this has got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie...this is the 1st of 4 movies by satyaajit Ray n this is a pretty good 1960's movie 2 watch....its filmed in black n white...its got a really good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie...i think that the director of this movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie
User Review - 10/10 by Jonathan SI loved this movie. The Apu trilogy, were the first movies he filmed, but I could see how he improved in all senses with a new movie. Devi is better constructed than Aparajito, is more original and is full of conflicts. The rule is that a conflict or a problem opens the door to a new problem; this movie keeps you entertained all the time and show how far people can get because of the obsession of religion.
User Review - 10/10 by Eric HExcellent film. Captures the essence of religious superstition verses spirituality. Shot in glorious black and white the film is essentially about a 17 year old bride ( played by Sharmila Tagore)whose atheist husband goes away for further studies leaving her with his family in a rural town in Bengal. Her devout father-in-law, who is an ardent worshipper of the goddess Kali, has a vision that his daughter-in-law is actually an incarnation of the goddess. The devoted daughter-in-law, initially, plays along for the fear of hurting his feelings but as the movie progresses she gets caught up in the ritualistic practices and starts to believe that she is actually the goddesses incarnate. I have actually seen things like that happen and I think Ray captured the mass hysteria of an entire town very well. The struggle between the son who is a spiritual man but is not superstious and his father is well portrayed. Over all an excellent film, not on par with the Apu trilogy however.
User Review - 10/10 by sudarshana mRay is a director on par with Japan's three-lettered-last-name great (that would be Ozu) and this film is as strong as any in his canon. One of the best films about religious hypocrisy ever made.
User Review - 10/10 by India Bmy favorite satyajit ray film, hands down.
