An Anglo-Indian woman (Kalki Koechlin) works in a seedy Mumbai massage parlor while trying to find her long-lost father.

Where The Girl In Yellow Boots stopped being satisfactory is when I started wanting more, and didn't get it.

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

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

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

A brave performance from Kalki Koechlin is certainly the highlight, but not the only reason to seek out this film.

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

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

That movie with intolerable story, screenplay and direction

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.

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

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
