Court's reviews
Media reviews
Cinemanía
Anatomía de una injusticia, disección de un proceso podrido que va mucho más allá del sistema judicial que retrata con minuciosidad documental, impecable técnica de puesta en escena y efecto poético inmediato, el debú de Chaitanya Tamhane.
Variety
Managing to be both extremely rational and extremely humane, the film works so well thanks to an intelligent, superbly understated script and a feel for naturalism that extends beyond mere performance.
The Playlist
'Court' acquires its power through its thoughtful depiction of the mundane and the ordinary.
The A.V. Club
For the most part, Tamhane improbably succeeds in creating a damning courtroom drama that derives much of its power from observing the cogs in the machinery when the machine is switched off.
New York Times
A quiet, devastating critique of the antiquated Indian legal system.
The Hollywood Reporter
While this near two-hour feature debut does betray occasional signs of inexperience, on the whole it's a work of striking confidence.
El País
Court moves with a extreme and formal strictness, through static shots that last in time till the exhaustion, and there are just a few camera movements and character movements inside the frame.
Los Angeles Times
'Court' invites comparisons with the 2011 Iranian film "A Separation," even if Court director Chaitanya Tamhane hasn't achieved the same level of mastery with his feature debut.
El Mundo
Outstanding and suggestive Indian production about the sloppy running of a Bombay's judge.
ABC
A wonderful sociological documentary about the India. A realistic portrait about a society that is almost unknown to the white man.
