Reviews

  • Not a subtle film; and, most curiously -- to put it mildly -- for a sermon on tolerance, it resorts to history's eternal scapegoat.

    Lawrence Van Gelder - The New York Times

  • The central narrative is ultimately too one-dimensional to sustain interest.

    Megan Lehmann - New York Post

  • A drama of impeccable intentions flawed by arch dialogue and only OK direction.

    Derek Elley - Variety

    19 January 2013

  • The actors appear game, yet director Aparna Sen, who conceived the film in the wake of September 11, resorts often to hokey pseudo-lyricism and prefers sound-bite ballyhoo to sociological depth.
