	Author	Review
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	['Trishna'] owes something to Hardy, a bit to Bollywood and too much to Mr. Winterbottom’s unfortunate decisions. 'Trishna' is attractive if not memorably"	NEG
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Freida Pinto’s incandescent beauty gives this somewhat dramatically underpowered Hardy adaptation a beguiling center"	NEU

United States	Oliver Lyttelton IndieWire	"[It] is picturesque, but entirely lacking in passion (...) The meat of the film is sadly, a tedious misstep for [the director]"	NEG
