Sir Reviews

With Is Love Enough? Sir, Rohena Gera desists viewing togetherness as love’s end goal, gently uncovering the gifts of being in it instead.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 26, 2022

Sir is a cinematic triumph. Gera and Shome compromise nothing in a full and poignant portrayal of India's working class, without turning Ashwin and his social strata into caricatures of wealthy, Anglicized demons.

| Mar 5, 2021

Director Rohena Gera's... comprises exquisite moments.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 3, 2020

[Filmmaker Rohena Gera] offers a sensitive take into the lives of the protagonists... The end product, which has some good cinematography by Dominique Colin and taut editing by Jacques Comets and Baptiste Ribrault, is as real as it gets...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 2, 2020

A movie that regrettably feels more like a telenovela. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/10 | Feb 27, 2020

Director Rohena Gera manages to draw attention to characteristics of Indian society,... It's a pity bad he doesn't get them to work in favor of the story. [Full review in Spanish]

Its effectiveness in terms of emotional reach is based on Tilotama Shome, an actress that constructs with as much subtlety as determination a woman who is discreet, honest, and capable of chasing her desires. [Full Review in Spanish]

The final shot is magnificent: one word breathes optimism to the story. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 13, 2019

A sentimental process that the director narrates with calm and credibility, delicacy and embarrassment. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Sep 28, 2019

A fresh story about how we can survive in this world believing in ourselves. A good memoir from Mumbai to every neo-spectator. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 25, 2019

Sir is a film that is charming even when it talks about how hopes are lost when one doesn't really get what they want. But it's optimistic tone and humanistic core that tells people to be themselves makes for a glorious watch.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 25, 2019

An interesting reflection about the clash between modernity and tradition in constricting Indian society. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 23, 2019

A conventional and popular story. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 23, 2019

Sir is a delicate and powerful look at human connection.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 8, 2019

There's a tangible sense of excitement to something as simple as Ashwin and Ratna passing each other in the hallway, and an equally potent sense of danger when they interact while in the presence of other people. What might they let slip?

| Jun 25, 2019

This deeply memorable effort was shot with beautifully simplicity, sometimes with dazzling colours and intoxicating music, but largely in closed spaces that reveal much about their inhabitants...

| Apr 25, 2019

For a moment, it seems Sir may break through. But the film falls into well-worn grooves and soap opera-level drama, wasting solid character work.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 23, 2019

If you take away the slow-brewing attraction that serves as an appealing logline, you still have a mighty fine picture about a village girl who wants to defy the patriarchy and stand on her own two feet in the city.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 23, 2019

The film, from Indian screenwriter and documentary director Rohena Gera, is well-paced and properly sentimental.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 18, 2019

Sir isn't after epiphanies. It's more interested in the small moments, the rituals of daily life.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 29, 2018
