Simple but engrossing, Canadian director Richie Mehta's Siddharth is the story of an Indian father searching for his missing son, and offers a window into the lives of India's working poor that goes beyond the familiar issues of food and shelter.

Tension builds along with hopelessness but Mehta avoids making judgments or giving easy answers about the circumstances that led to Siddharth being sent off to work.
February 19, 2015 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review… -
Mehta keeps his sociopolitical critique in the background, allowing it to inform but not interfere with his intimate and devastating story.
February 18, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 -
I think it's a very interesting story, a slightly frustrating one but very vibrant use of the locations.
October 9, 2014 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… -
It's a sophisticated neo-realist film, beautifully shot and edited to reflect the sense of time and resignation in Indian culture.
October 9, 2014 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… -
Though at times "Siddharth" can resemble a well-photographed report on India's social and economic ills, Mehta subtly employs different styles to sustain the poetry, poignancy, and drama.
