      Audience Member Slow paced, sometimes painfully so, but solid performances and subtle camera work. The ending is changed from the original in such a way that I'm not a huge fan of, but works in the new pro-socialist direction the movie has taken the original play in. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I like the main story & liked Ray's hint to religious insanity but that's about it & the movie is more like a tedious play & the happy ending is a bit disappointing Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A hardhitting movie with the entire cast giving splendid performances.....my picks would be Soumitra and Dhritiman!!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I like the main story & liked Ray's hint to religious insanity but that's about it & the movie is more like a tedious play & the happy ending is a bit disappointing Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Ibsen elegantly transposed to India. Though not among Ray's best known and most admired works, this grippingl and passionate defence of enlightenment values I think deserves to be.

      Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It's Ray's first film after a heart attack four years ago, and his doctors insisted it had to be a studio film. That the film is so dull can't be blamed on the doctors. Rated: B- Mar 24, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
