Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Where The Girl In Yellow Boots stopped being satisfactory is when I started wanting more, and didn't get it. Rated: 2/5 Mar 29, 2019 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The film's value is in its portrait of Ruth, and her independence as a solo outsider in a vast, uncaring city. Rated: 3.5/4 Dec 15, 2011 Full Review Xan Brooks Guardian The yarn flounders under a crush of declamatory dialogue, sheds its plumage in an overheated final act and no amount of delirious closeups of Koechlin's lovely face (shot by her director husband, Anurag Kashyap) can restore its sheen. Rated: 2/5 Dec 1, 2011 Full Review Nikhat Kazmi The Times of India A word about Kalki's performance: she literally slips into the shoes of the protagonist and essays the anguish of a lonely, lost soul effortlessly. Rated: 4/5 Feb 28, 2020 Full Review J Hurtado ScreenAnarchy A brave performance from Kalki Koechlin is certainly the highlight, but not the only reason to seek out this film. Nov 6, 2017 Full Review Graham Young Birmingham Post The film's arc is predictable - not least because Kashyap doesn't show us much of the local city to help us escape from her lurid life. Rated: 2/5 Jan 18, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Faiz D Probably the most disturbing Indian film I've ever seen. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Audience Member Not quite terrible but close enough. People states this was a balsy attempt. The thing was it's a balsy attempt at giving us nothing expect disappointment and a very woeful back story. Everything is so weak from the performers of the Asians to the performance of the leads. The film took time to get going by then I was almost sleeping. Just no Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member That movie with intolerable story, screenplay and direction Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member The film, despite not being a riddle anyway and despite being a fresh piece of cinematic thriller, is only half-convincing. Maybe genuine, maybe inventive, maybe top on the craft, but not strong in any sense of word. It's core weakness is that it never rises above a maybe. A vaguely watchable film that never gets its audience intimate with its world. It's unfamiliar, but honestly, really bland to want to get familiar with in every sense of word. Didn't expect an ensemble of Anurag Kashyap, Kalki Koechlin and Naseeruddin Shah to be that ordinary. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Classic art house stuff, but can be a bit confusing to an ordinary movie goer, just because of the intensity involved.. Kalki, like most times, is flawless, and the storyline is executed to perfection with different characters fitting in perfectly.. A little more clarity towards the end could have helped, but doesn't take away anything from the overall package Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Anurag Kashyap's 'That Girl in Yellow Boots' has a gritty story line with strong performance and screen presence from Kalki Koechlin. A story too dark to resist Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
