David Chute · L.A. Weekly 80.00/100.00
Hitches some of the most irresistible conventions of Hindi movie melodrama to an earnest agenda of social protest.
Kevin Thomas · Los Angeles Times 80.00/100.00
As beautiful as it is harrowing.
Bill Gallo · Village Voice 100.00/100.00
This work of gorgeous fury, about the virtual imprisonment of millions of Hindu widows in the years before independence, transforms Mehta's feminist rage into an eloquent testament to the hunger for freedom.
