Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times Though it lasts only 63 minutes, this documentary's impact is devastating. Oct 29, 2015 Full Review Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter Leslee Udwin's documentary about the December 2012 crime is in many ways a hopeful portrait, focusing not just on the attack but on the ensuing protests and policy changes. Oct 26, 2015 Full Review Justin Chang Variety "India's Daughter" makes for grim, infuriating and sadly necessary viewing, its despair tinged with the faintest hope that the protestors' call for gender equality may yet be reignited. Oct 23, 2015 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens [D]ocumentarian Leslee Udwin goes behind and beyond the world shattering events of 2012, shining a bright light on the issue of gender equality and the need to change the mindset of the world. Nov 29, 2019 Full Review Sr. Rose Pacatte National Catholic Reporter "India's Daughter" is the daughter, mother, sister, niece, and grandmother of India and of every country in the world where gender inequality that allows rape and violence toward women is the norm that is, everywhere. Jun 13, 2017 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice A searing documentary about the chauvinism and patriarchy which under girds one rape of a woman every 20 minutes in India. Rated: 5/5 Dec 14, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A harrowing documentary that needs to be seen. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Profound, moving, sad, and uplifting. My only criticism is that it's too short. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Leslie Udwin's documentary "India's Daughter" is a dispassionate re-telling of events related to a brutal crime, which provoked a brief period of grass-roots upheaval in many cities of India. The re-telling of the events is interspersed with interviews of a perpetrator, family and friends of both the victim and the perpetrators, and representatives of the police, government, and civil society. Apart from the embarrassment caused by the access the filmmaker gained to a convict on death row, I could not think of any other reason why this film was banned in India. My only criticism is of the director's avoidable decision to show the faces of the minor children of the perpetrators. [Available for streaming in the US, on PBS] Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I am speechless. After watching this, no words can possibly describe my feelings. It is a horrible event that brought to light a much greater problem that exists in India and all over the world for that matter. This documentary will rip your heart out and realize there are great problems than the day to day struggle with money and disliking your job. It will put your life into a little more perspective. You will be grateful, saddened, sickened and possibly awakened. This is a must see, emotion and thought provoker Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member The attempt to address India's national morality crisis in the wake of the brutal rape and murder of a 23-year-old medical student looks ham-fisted in the lesser hands of the director and his team. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review greg r Prepare to be shocked by this. Really shocked Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
