Le Tigre blanc - Reviews

Gourav hardens before our eyes in a performance that flits back and forth between immature recklessness, calcifying fury, and justified braggadocio...

...through his eyes, Balram's singular story — in all its wild, exuberant improbability — roars to life.

Ramin Bahrani offers a kinetic and textured satirical commentary on caste friction in modern India...

...holds your interest straight through its seriously perfunctory finale.

...one of the more successful literary adaptations of recent years.

An absorbing tale of feline ambition.

...en brutal komedi, och samtidigt en revolutionär film som står vid sitt ord och följer sin egen högst realistiska logik, ända in i kaklet. Och det gör rätt ont.

det är bra skådespelare, särskilt Gourav som Balram, en ung kille som lär sig snabbt av att se maffiabrödermentaliteten hos dem han tjänar.

...konstnärligt och gripande indiskt drama.

There are wit and immediacy to The White Tiger that is often not found in movies which deal with social issues in India...

...a fractured fairy tale about the scar-inducing sacrifices and the brutal moral compromises one young man makes as he refuses to let anyone stop him in his quest to become a force to be reckoned with.

...punchy, propulsive tale of a grubby ascent to the top.

...a gripping story of class and corruption in Indian society.

...pulls no punches in its clear-eyed depiction of class inequalities, corruption, and violence in India, where a man of Balram's status is born into layers of servitude.

...a wildly entertaining ride of survival.
