Waiting
Critic reviews and ratings
-
There is no mistaking her (Anu Menon) genius as she guides every delicate scene with the hand of maturity.
-
For Kalki and Naseer's effortless performances, this movie deserves to be watched.
-
An understated and superbly acted film about loss, grief and the human need to cling on to the physical presence of loved ones, Anu Menon's Waiting is at once heart-wrenching and uplifting.
-
Anu Menon has surely surprises the audience with this hard hitting yet emotional film.
-
...a sensitive, unusual story.
-
Powerful performances and a realistic approach make this a film you’d want to watch.
-
Menon’s true triumph lies in how she doesn’t vilify a profession or its uncomfortable reality to gather empathy for her characters.
-
...walks the line between emotional resonance and emotional manipulation skilfully.
-
The film deserves a watch for being one that doesn't try too hard and for its approach to an extreme situation.
-
Humour blends with sadness beautifully in the film without making the script melodramatic.
-
There is an unmistakable lightness of touch in dealing with a sombre subject.
-
It is both sad and amusing, believable, well acted and very well told.
-
It sags post intermission, and the plotting is weak. But it raises important questions about life, love, and letting go. Plus there are those two splendid performances.
-
Watch this sensitive tale for Naseer and Kalki's brilliant performances.
-
...may be funereal in the larger scheme of things but it is a joy to see two great actors in fine form playing characters that learn from each other.
-
Both lead actors are wonderful though, their chemistry feels very real. They are one of the main reasons, the film took me out of 'review' mode and made me forget I was watching a film.
-
...is too sparsely plotted to realise its ambitions,
-
...charms you with its quiet elegance.
-
It is too explanatory, too talky : you want the characters to stop describing what they are feeling; you want some quiet so you can see them feeling, and feel right alongside.
-
...there’s a difference between overcooked and bland – Waiting leans too much towards the latter.
-
...the film lacks depth...
