Each portion could have been separate and equally deserving and successful films, which makes what is present incomplete to a degree.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 12, 2021

A deeply personal film from Gurinder Chadha, which doesn't shy away from the brutality of Partition and yet still manages to find room for her trademark flair and gentle humour.

| Original Score: 3.5 | Mar 25, 2021

Faux-historical pastiche.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 24, 2020

Director Chadha manages to tell a deeply personal story on a grand scale with humanity.

| May 13, 2020

Chadha presents a wonderful representation of Indian culture and history (along with her staple Bollywood style with some song and dance).

| Jul 29, 2019

There are definitely sentimental and predictable moments but it is enjoyable.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 7, 2019

Despite some significantly weird moments, Viceroy's House delivers a powerful, political and deeply personal story of a country being slowly split in two.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 6, 2019

Still, Chadha (Bend it Like Beckham) deftly manages to capture the frantic mood of the times and the politicking that went on, not least by the British, and the settings are magnificent.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 22, 2018

"Viceroy's House" is appropriately somber. It feels like the wheels of history had been put in motion long ago, and a few well-meaning people on all sides aren't enough to stop them.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 27, 2017

Those of us who had the good fortune to watch the 온라인카지노추천 series The Jewel in the Crown or Ivory's Indian films will learn to miss them with this film: something is something. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 14, 2017

Richard Attenborough's multiple Oscar-winning masterpiece comes repeatedly to mind, and while Viceroy's House doesn't have the epic sweep of Gandhi, it's shorter, less demanding and more entertaining.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 16, 2017

It is always enjoyable to sit back and watch the actors do their work.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 6, 2017

It plays out as if it was a PBS refresher course on the partition of India in 1947.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 1, 2017

What gave the film depth was how Chadha wove together the political situation and the stories of the Indian servants in Viceroy's House.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 20, 2017

Personally poignant, Gurinder Chadha reveals a cultural legacy that still reverberates today.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 18, 2017

Viceroy's House has some less-than-graceful scenes and a romance thread that eventually becomes formulaic, but they do not take away from the stunning, moving story that is on screen.

| Sep 18, 2017

For those patient enough to stick with it, Viceroy's House will spark the mind, but it strains to touch the heart.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 15, 2017

Directed with great care by Gurinda Chadha, this splendid motion picture should be shown in all World History classes.

| Sep 15, 2017

The need to cram historical information, a conspiracy theory involving Jinnah and Winston Churchill, nefarious doings... and the perfunctory romantic subplot leaves no room for the drama to breathe.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 14, 2017

Bonnenville's steel-chinned and earnest portrayal of Mountbatten drives the film, matched by Gillian's compassionate presentation of Lady Edwina.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 14, 2017
