Top CriticLess about finger-pointing than a plea for India to confront its past.
06/15/07
Top CriticAn admirable labor of love that stumbles dramatically but gets along on its sincere good intentions.
06/14/07
Top Critic[Amu] is clearly a labor of love for the activist filmmaker, as she breaks all the traditional inhibitions of Bollywood to remind the world of -- and, for most of us, reveal for the first time -- one of the most shameful episodes in Indian history.
05/30/07
Top CriticIn Shonali Bose's tightly constructed debut feature (2005) a young Indian-American woman from Los Angeles returns to Delhi for the first time since childhood to visit her relatives.
05/25/07
Top CriticFails to grab the imagination as it unfolds in familiar TV-movie fashion.
05/25/07
Top Critic[Director Bose] has a genuine gift for atmosphere, making the many wordless scenes, in teeming streets and on crowded trains, the movie's best.
05/25/07
Top CriticAmu, the ambitious debut feature by Shonali Bose, wears its political heart on its sleeve and is unafraid to tackle big topics: identity, history, truth, injustice.
05/25/07
Top CriticToo bad first-time writer-director Shonali Bose's juxtaposition of the personal and the political often feels forced, and like many didactic history lessons, this one's about 20 minutes too long.
05/23/07
Top Critic[Director] Bose embeds her history lesson in a drama with authentic emotional mother-daughter conflict.
02/16/07
Top CriticGood intentions do eventually trump mediocre drama and the climactic flashbacks of the riots, as Sikhs are torn out of homes and trains by murderous mobs, are the stuff of nightmares.
