Viceroy's House's reviews
Media reviews
The Guardian
'Viceroy?s House' may not have a whole lot of depth, but Chadha always shows her irrepressible and good-natured flair for storytelling, and sharp observational eye for the clenched unease of Britain?s patrician ruling class.
Indiewire
This material could make for a powerful work, but 'Viceroy's House' is certainly not it. The film's chief offense is its bland inoffensiveness.
Variety
'Viceroy's House' clumsily merges a waxworks biographical study of Lord Louis and Lady Edwina Mountbatten ... with a passionless Romeo-and-Juliet romance between two of their servants caught in the fray.
Time Out
Clumsily fuses political drama with romantic melodrama.
The Hollywood Reporter
Chadha has distilled a fascinating and epic true story into a starchy, stuffy, sanitized period piece that never fully engages on an emotional or educational level.
