“Shadowbox” struggles to overcome its plain aesthetic, but its central drama is usually interesting enough, thanks to the impeccable depth of its performances. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International Feb 18
What is perhaps most impressive about the film’s approach is how little is overtly spelled out, and how much we understand about Maya’s troubled past without the need for unwieldy chunks of exposition. This is storytelling of economy and elegance. Go to Full Review Anandu Suresh The Indian Express Dec 19
4.5/5
One of the brilliant aspects of Baksho Bondi is that it isn’t just another poverty-porn movie shamelessly offering pity-based storytelling. Tanushree and Saumyananda ensure that there isn’t an elite gaze that leeches off the sufferings of the destitute. Go to Full Review Tatsam Mukherjee The Wire (INDIA) Apr 25
Is there a more stoic face in Hindi cinema than Tillotama Shome’s, especially when she’s being told she’s not good enough for something? Go to Full Review Gayle Sequeira The Hollywood Reporter India Apr 22
Bars are a recurring motif in Shadowbox, Baksho Bondi, emphasising the loneliness and isolation of its characters. One of them will end up in prison by the end, as the recurring visual cannily foreshadows, but for now, they're all trapped. Go to Full Review Vladan Petkovic Cineuropa Apr 1
A small, subtle film which tenderly pulls on the strings of our emotions, but we may often wish the timbre was more substantial. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
