Where The Girl In Yellow Boots stopped being satisfactory is when I started wanting more, and didn't get it. Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 12/15/2011
3.5/4
The film's value is in its portrait of Ruth, and her independence as a solo outsider in a vast, uncaring city. Go to Full Review
Xan Brooks Guardian 12/01/2011
2/5
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. Go to Full Review
Nikhat Kazmi The Times of India 02/28/2020
4/5
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. Go to Full Review
J Hurtado ScreenAnarchy 11/06/2017
A brave performance from Kalki Koechlin is certainly the highlight, but not the only reason to seek out this film. Go to Full Review

2/5
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. Go to Full Review

Faiz D 08/29/2024 Probably the most disturbing Indian film I've ever seen. See more 06/20/2021 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 See more 09/20/2020 That movie with intolerable story, screenplay and direction See more 09/12/2019 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. See more 05/22/2016 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 See more 05/10/2014 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 See more Read all reviews
