Slumdog Millionaire

"This is a breathless, exciting story, heartbreaking and exhilarating at the same time. (...) It is one of those miraculous entertainments that achieves its immediate goals and keeps climbing toward a higher summit (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)." 

"A gaudy, gorgeous rush of color, sound and motion (...) In the end, what gives me reluctant pause about this bright, cheery, hard-to-resist movie is that its joyfulness feels more like a filmmaker’s calculation than an honest cry from the heart about the human spirit" 

"What I feel for this movie isn't just admiration, it's mad love. And I couldn't be more surprised (...) It's an explosion of color and light with the darkness ever ready to invade. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)." 

"One in a million. (...) Horrifying, humorous and life-affirming, it is, above all, unforgettable. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)" 

"Four stars simply aren’t enough for Danny Boyle’s 'Slumdog Millionaire', which just may be the most entertaining movie I’ve ever labeled a masterpiece in these pages." 

"Driven by fantastic energy and a torrent of vivid images of India old and new, 'Slumdog Millionaire' is a blast."
