Movie Reviews

Sight and Sound - 10/10 by Anton BitelNair carefully manipulates the viewers' prejudices & forces us to take sides in a conflict more complicated than it first appears, all to make us ultimately step back and look at the 'whole story' of East-West relations in their broader context.
Old School Reviews - 9/10 by John A. Nesbitamong the most provocative releases of the year
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Richard RoeperDeliberately ambiguous, The Reluctant Fundamentalist provides just enough answers while leaving us with more than enough questions. It's a film that demands discussion afterward.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by J. R. JonesThis sure-handed adaptation of Mohsin Hamid's international best seller shows Nair at her best.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Michael O'SullivanThe Reluctant Fundamentalist will likely make some people mad because of the way it holds the United States responsible for the repercussions of its actions in the world. Like Changez himself, the film has a complicated relationship with the superpower.
TheMovieReport.com - 9/10 by Michael DequinaThe film not only functions well as a thriller and an exploration of post-9/11 paranoia and prejudice, but a thoughtful look at fickle, knee-jerk human psychology of judgment in the wake of tragedies.
RogerEbert.com - 8/10 by Omer M. MozaffarNair has made a very smart film, whose ambitions sometimes exceed the piece's depths.
Christian Science Monitor - 8/10 by Peter RainerTimeliness is certainly on the side of Mira Nair’s uneven but fascinating The Reluctant Fundamentalist.
NPR - 8/10 by Ella TaylorNair likes to have fun even when her material is somber, and for this movie she deploys a rich palette and a multi-culti but mostly kitsch-free score that fuses old and new with a lovely Sufi devotional piece, and is peppered with Pakistani pop.
Seattle Times - 8/10 by Michael UpchurchHandsomely crafted and smartly performed, the film works on its own terms. But in expanding the story's canvas, it dilutes rather than translates the power of the book.
