Leave your thoughts about Provoked: A True Story.
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johanson[T]his conventional but deftly handled movie lays it bare, plays it straight, and eschews all the soppy melodrama we've come to expect from such solemn displays of aggressive, mad-as-hell feminism. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxFor all the gushy feelings, the plight of women like Kiranjit, bound not only by domineering, often physically abusive husbands but by racism and oppressive cultural traditions as well, is poignantly portrayed. |
| Murphy's Movie ReviewsTed MurphyPROVOKED: A TRUE STORY sets out to tell an important story in the history of the British judicial system. Unfortunately, the project was undertaken by filmmakers who seemingly didn't know how to handle the implications of the story they wanted to tell. |
| VarietyDerek ElleyMixed Indian and Western cast --turn the true story of a case that changed British law into an old-style melodrama (in the best sense) complete with a feel-good ending. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumBased on a true story, this Indian variation on a theme of "The Burning Bed" emphasizes the psychological freedom the inmate finds behind bars. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsRai's acting is frustratingly passive in Provoked, and the script is laced with prison and courtroom cliches. But the movie gets most of the facts straight and the flashbacks to the wife's abuse are harrowing. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayUnfortunately, Provoked possesses the tiny production values and schmaltzy music of a prime-time special, despite its ensemble of terrific actors. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrThere's an interesting movie in here, too, about the isolation of Indian brides brought to a new country by strange new husbands and mistreated, but Provoked rarely ducks below its glossy surface to go there. |
| Contra Costa TimesMary F. PolsIn the end, Provoked is not provocative enough. |
| OutlookNamrata JoshiDespite being based on a true story, the film's presentation is overly dramatic and the characters seem too stereotypical. |
