A pair of children, born within moments of India gaining independence from Britain, grow up in the country that is nothing like their parent's generation.
Leave your thoughts about Midnight's Children.
| OregonianMarc MohanNot only compelling and complex, but educational. |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanThanks to Rushdie's sensitive handling of his own material, this is an adaptation big in both ideas and heart. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlEven if you've read the novel, and are prepared for the long running time and haphazard structure, this isn't a movie you should expect to feel or even closely follow. See it if Midnight's Children is a novel you always wanted the gist of. |
| ScotsmanSiobhan SynnotMehta has a painterly eye, giving her images a mythological beauty and tender sensuality. |
| Digital SpyPriya JoshiMidnight's Children is the perfect medley of story, cast and characterisation infused with Rushdie's poetic brilliance. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerThe film’s political scope is wide, beginning in 1917 and extending for sixty years, and, especially in the first hour or so, the antic, magical tone of Rushdie’s novel is sustained. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA sprawling, lumbering epic that manages to preserve a substantial amount of the book's content but achieves little of its magic. |
| Philadelphia WeeklySean BurnsThere's nothing to hang onto here. Most scenes last only two or three minutes, and events don't accrue so much as they just pig-pile on top of one another. |
| The SpectatorDeborah RossThe trouble with... Midnight's Children, aside from the fact it is a mess and a muddle, is that it goes on and on and on and on. And on. And on. And then, just when you think it has to be over, it goes on some more. |
| The Ooh TrayEd WhitfieldRather more virtuosity behind the camera was required to induce the desired hypnotic effect. Deepa Mehta just isn't up to it. |
