Critic Reviews for Newton

All Critics (18) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (17) | Rotten (1)

Except for momentary descent into needless cliche, and a couple of flat notes, Newton stays firmly on course.

Shubhra Gupta
The Indian Express
Newton's fight against the system was searing and memorable.

Anupama Chopra
Film Companion
Watching the film I was struck by the artistic landmines it could have potentially got trapped in but manages to navigate well.

Namrata Joshi
The Hindu
Easy to watch, easy to enjoy and easy to leave with one's preconceptions wholly unchallenged.

Jessica Kiang
Variety
Both exasperating and endearing in the title role, Rao again shows he is a chameleon actor whose gift for poker-faced comedy revs up the figure of a rigid young civil servant.

Deborah Young
Hollywood Reporter
[A] delectably free-flowing, brilliantly written and wonderfully well-acted film.

I strongly suggest that you stay till the very last credit has rolled off the screen.

Anna M.M. Vetticad
Firstpost
Most of the film is entertaining enough, but it is a shame that some of it is sacrificed for some boring sentimental bits.

Laura Davis
One Room With A View
It's a testament to Rao's sober performance that in spite of his character's blatant underdog-ness, he remains difficult to like. He could have easily bastardized Newton into the village-idiot-simpleton caricature...

Rahul Desai
Film Companion
Newton is a political film, but it is also a very witty. So there is no lecturing, no overt sloganeering, but only a very wry, ironical take on the way things function in India.

January 8, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Bedatri D. Choudhury
The Film Stage
Despite its cynical viewpoint on the state of politics in India, Newton is primarily a goofy comedy which never really rises above the level of 'amusing'.

Alex Lines
Film Inquiry
Newtown succeeds because of the powerful emotional story it tells; while it is incredibly gut-wrenching, it leaves viewers with a message of hope and unity, and a vital call to action.
