Quote:
"The pared-down, deceptively simple feel of the narrative recalls the lyricism of one of [Deepa] Mehta's greatest influences, Bengali master Satyajit Ray. [...] However, the historical sweep and its emphasis on a culture going through seismic shifts is very much in line with Mehta's other work, most notably Earth."
