CRITICS OF "A Passage to India"

Video-Reviewmaster.com

Epic, briliantly photographed, but slow David Lean drama.

March 08, 2008

Variety

An impeccably faithful, beautifully played and occasionally languorous adaptation of E.M. Forster's classic novel.

November 06, 2007

Resource

Groucho Reviews

Lean's visually appealing film frequently connects as a social satire and a mystical melodrama of transgressors looking for footholds in psychically threatening territory.

April 21, 2008

Apollo Guide

Regardless of what one thinks of David Lean and his old fashioned style, the results here - save perhaps for the casting of Alec Guinness as a Hindu professor - are exquisite.

April 24, 2008

EmanuelLevy.Com

Lean's swan song is an intelligent adaptation of Forster's complex novel about racil prejudice and sexual repression, flaunting wonderful perfromances from the two leads, Judy Davis and particularly Dame Peggy Ashcroft.

March 19, 2008

Filmcritic.com

Lean isn't on his A-game here, but the film isn't bad.

April 17, 2008

Empire Magazine

The film, for all Lean's innate elegance, is strangely remote and unmoving. It could easily have been a Merchant-Ivory film.

November 06, 2007

Resource

TV Guide

Lean does an excellent job of conveying the repressive nature of British society captured in the novel.

November 06, 2007

Resource

New York Times

The film is very much 'a full theatrical meal,' and one that conveys a lot of 'the multiplicity of life' one seldom sees on the screen these days.

May 20, 2003

Chicago Reader

David Lean's studied, plodding, overanalytic direction manages to kill most of the meaning in E.M. Forster's haunting novel of cultural collision in colonial India.

November 06, 2007

Resource

Time Out

Not for literary purists, but if you like your entertainment well tailored, then feel the quality and the width.

June 24, 2006

Resource

Chicago Sun-Times

Forster's novel is one of the literary landmarks of this century, and now David Lean has made it into one of the greatest screen adaptations I have ever seen.
