Critic Reviews for The Guru

All Critics (2) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (1)

  • The central character naturally is the guru himself, and it is here that Ivory and his leading actor have brought off a brilliantly funny and touching character study.

  • Perhaps Ivory's real talent is for the sort of farewells which everyone welcomes with rather more relief than they allow themselves to admit.
