Jennifer M This movie is in my top 5 list. I've watched it no less than 8 times (so far). Decided to watch it again tonight and realized I should have written a review a long time ago. I love EVERYTHING about this movie - the actors selected, the excellent acting, the way it was filmed/produced, the imagery of Mumbai and the culture (absolutely loved the pan-out views), taking us through the different stages of life with the characters, how the storyline is unveiled bit by bit with his answers, then all comes together seamlessly at the end, closing out with the Bollywood dance - just Everything. The characters and their performance is so strong and convincing that it pulls you in and takes you through every emotion with them - you will be sad, happy, laugh, cry, become angry and enraged, and will be on the edge of your seat waiting to see what will happen next. An all around excellent production! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/25 Full Review Micah H Absolutely beautiful.

Danny Boyle's award winning film is an adaption of the hit novel Q & A. Using a unique plot device of building the story around the questions being asked to the main character on the Indian version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Slumdog is a fascinating drama which journey's through someone's life. It almost has a fantasy quality with the questions being linked to the character's life, but the movie is really based in reality and the rundown locations within Mumbai. The movie is a fantastic drama which reminds me of Forrest Gump in a way, while also delivering something fresh and unique. The way Boyle is able to make the story a coming of age one as well shows his understanding of his craft and his ability to be a good story teller. A.R. Rahman finally won his Academy Award for music in this film, and many fans would argue that this isn't one of his better scores. That might be true, but ARR proves with this score that he has so much ability and versatility with his music that he is able to bring a highly authentic score within each new movie he does. The Latika theme alone is a great example of why he won the many awards that he did that year. Its a movie that is such a unique trip, that you need to watch it in order to understand why it has been celebrated for all these years. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/28/24 Full Review Katie B Beautiful film a perfect movie Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/23/24 Full Review Ralph R Slumdog Millionaire is one of those movies that really sticks with you. It follows Jamal, a kid from the slums of Mumbai. Watching him go through so much and still come out with hope makes it pretty powerful. The movie does a great job showing the reality of life for kids in poverty but doesn’t feel like it’s trying to preach. Director Danny Boyle keeps things moving with a fast pace, and the mix of tension, humor, and drama keeps you hooked. The visuals are great too, showing all sides of Mumbai, from the city to the harshness of life in the slums. Overall, Slumdog Millionaire is a must-watch. It’s raw, emotional, and, at the end of the day, it’s a story about resilience and hope. Perfect for when you want a movie that hits hard but leaves you feeling uplifted.
