Ugly
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...a constantly riveting, ticking timebomb of a film -- is by far Kashyap’s finest film.
-
Watch the movie for brilliance and for its simple, touching and mind-blowing messaage.
-
...a film that draws the deepest and darkest behavior of men. This is how you make a great film.
-
...a gripping, intense whodunit which has intensity oozing from every character.
-
...one of the best films of the year.
-
...what makes Ugly tick is the searing honesty with which it is told. It's not for the faint-hearted, but for those who are willing to let the morally decrepit live.
-
Ultimately Ugly rests on an irony, and although there are some masterfully-crafted scenes to build up suspense, none of it can hide the writer-director’s moral gaze—how depraved are you, he seems to ask, leaving his audience uneasy.
-
...it is Anurag’s least indulgent yet most visceral film.
-
It may be all things dark and forbidding this festive season, but it is, with flaws and all, one of the best films you'll watch this year.
-
...with make you laugh at some of the irrelevance, it will make you cringe at the blood and gore, it will leave you disturbed even but more importantly it will make you think. And that's why you should watch it.
-
...a priceless little gem of a film that is head-and-shoulders above almost everything that you've seen this year
-
The repulsion you feel towards Ugly is what makes it a good film. A thriller that makes you uncomfortable from within.
-
I disliked what I saw, and I dislike thinking or even writing about its familiar environment. And this vile aftertaste is perhaps Mr. Kashyap's most significant achievement.
-
This may not be Anurag Kashyap’s best film, but it is infinitely and indescribably better than all the muck that mainstream Bollywood passed off for entertainment this year.
-
...this film manages to deeply disturb you, mildly depress you and tag along with you for a long time even after you come out of the theatre. That obviously is Kashyap's intent.
-
...a fairly gripping film that’s also exhaustingly melancholic and cynical.
-
...when it hits home, it hits home in a way few films have done this year. Ugly could have been a lot more. What it is as of now is worth watching all the same.
-
...technically brilliant with some wonderful performances, Ugly strictly caters to a niche audience.
-
In all the to-ing and fro-ing, it starts feeling too long, and too much, without the requisite emotional pay-off. There are three potentially gripping films in here : one would have been enough.
