Variety

A radical vision of Indian womanhood collides with scattered storytelling in director Konstantin Bojanov‘s “The Shameless,” a provocative queer drama laid low by its oblique narrative.

The main asset of The Shameless lies in the charisma and attractiveness of Anasuya Sengupta. [Full review in Spanish]

As Renuka, Sengupta exudes the raw and vibrant defiance the film is supposed to embody, making “The Shameless” a flawed but nonetheless intriguing calling card.

Rated: 5/10

Movies We Texted About

Hardcore and not for the fainthearted, but it’s also an extremely good depiction of love being found in the most horrible circumstances, and the ways in which love can change your life, if not always for the better.

In Review Online

The Shameless is a film that revels in degradation on the pretext that it’s exposing the ugly conditions under which impoverished women must eke out a living.
