Wendy Ide Screen International While this triptych portrait of three modern Indian women who have decided, for various reasons, to wed in this way provides some insights, it feels like a tiny chink into a vast and complex subject May 17, 2017 Full Review Nick Schager Variety A Suitable Girl proves a somber lament for a part of the world still clinging to its restrictive past, at great cost to (particularly) its female population. May 17, 2017 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter Movingly chronicles its subjects' emotional travails and the societal and family pressures they face. Apr 25, 2017 Full Review Radhika Menon Decider A documentary that is simultaneously inquisitive, critical of, and loving toward the complexities of societal expectations alongside an evolving world, and will genuinely open your eyes to the layers of a tradition that aren't typically peeled back. Feb 18, 2021 Full Review Elissa Suh MUBI [It] doesn't upbraid or rail against the practice of arranged marriage that is its central subject, but rather employs it as the context...it questions not, instead offering a clear-eyed and empathetic look into the process. Feb 27, 2020 Full Review Rahul Desai Film Companion That the subjects shed their "chronicling formality" to trust the makers during their life's most transformative period is, in itself, a testament to the exhaustive ambitions of more than just another commentative exercise.
