Santosh

Reviews

• "Suri’s film is full of non-actors who excel at being themselves in front of the camera, the result so eminently watchable because it feels so remarkably like the real India."
  - indieWire
• "This assured sense of direction coupled with controlled performances make Santosh a compelling drama. But it’s Suri’s screenplay that renders the film immersive."
  - TheWrap
• "Caste and religion and class and gender are all part of this system, and that’s the broader critique in “Santosh,” which is quite furious by the end."
  - New York Times
• "It’s a terrific feature debut from British-Indian documentary filmmaker Sandhya Suri – a propulsive neo-noir that holds up a mirror to contemporary India."
  - Screen Daily
• "To watch SANTOSH is to feel the undeniable power of a discerning, resonant case study."
  - Los Angeles Times
• "An indelible portrait of a woman embracing power for the first time only to face disillusionment of the worst kind."
  - Reeling Reviews
• "If ‘Training Day with more grey areas’ sounds dull, it’s anything but."
  - Time Out
