Two strangers visiting their comatose partners meet in a hospital and bond over their shared experiences.

Shubhra Gupta

The Indian Express

It is too explanatory, too talky: you want the characters to stop describing what they are feeling; you want some quiet so you can see them feeling, and feel right alongside.

Rated: 2.5/5

Hindustan Times

A movie about love, life and their complexities, subtly portrayed on screen by Anu Menon, and brilliantly so.

Rated: 3.5/5

It is both sad and amusing, believable, well acted and very well told.

Eventually, Waiting serves a calm and dignified reminder of how the act itself is anything but. It is a fine little film about love, and a kind of anguish that has its own little quirks and half-smiles.

Rated: 3.5/5

Waiting is too sparsely plotted to realise its ambitions, but Menon, who has co-written the film with James Ruzicka, does raise important questions on the dilemmas faced by the family members of comatose patients.
