If you don't like graphic violence you may have to cover your eyes for several scenes but the movie is a wonderful must see movie. I thought it was fun and exciting, impossible but joyous nonetheless. There were lots of lessons about the human spirit. Go see it! NOT for children. Disturbing images.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Visually dazzling and thematically conscious, Slumdog Millionaire is a story both entertaining and powerful. Fast-moving and extremely engaging it's heartbreaking and exhilarating at the same time.
The best film I've seen this year.

I feel truly enriched by having seen Slumdog. That sounds like it's more about me than the movie, but it would be difficult for anyone to walk out of the theater after seeing this movie and fail to be uplifted by the combination of plot, acting, cinematography, music, and editing. The movie was riveting from beginning to the closing credits. A must-see about the Ghanges.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie does what a movie should do; makes you laugh, makes you cry, makes you scared for the characters, makes you rejoice at their successes, and puts a smile on your face as you walk out of the theater. Terrific. I've seen it twice,and I love this movie.

I typically look down upon movies like City of Joy which try and capitalize on the desperation & depravity of India's poor for western audiences.
Slumdog portays all the gruesomeness of the Dharavi slums in the most honest way that I have ever seen. It's a remarkably well made movie based on a truly heart warming story of love, relationships and adolescence. Simply superb!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The cinematography and the music of Slumdog is reason enough to see it. The camera work is fast paced and covers all manner of angles. As much as I hate movies told in flashback form (and this one is told with three), I found it tolerable. The plot breaks down and becomes increasingly inane as the movie plods along to end in boy finally gets girl.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Beautifully acted, lovely to look at, but the plot is a bit syrupy and soggy. Dev Patel is awfully fun to watch, as are the cast of Bollywood stars, but the story itself is as rickety and corrupt as the Mumbai underworld it portrays, and each plot twist can be heard from miles away.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

It is a pleasure to watch a movie which has a
beautifully written screenplay. The story is
enhanced by wonderful acting, amazing directing and editing, and marvellous music.
Im running out of superlatives here....
As with really great art, this film can be enjoyed
on many levels. I found myself totally involved
with the characters and the story. I think that
Slumdog Millionaire will be with me for some time to come...

Uplifting story superbly told. Cleverly written to be suspenseful in both subplots -- Jamal's life and his game show episode. Not only was he one-in-a-million on the game show...but he was one-in-a-million among Mumbai dalits...an idealist with strong principles and integrity...not corrupted by the dead-end life.
Bravo...great entertainment.

You hear about life in India and the squalid conditions; Danny Boyle has captured it on film. This is a remarkable story with Oscar-worthy performances. Most definitely deserving of Academy Award nominations. The story is amazing; and wonderfully told.

After reading all of the reviews i was stunned that it is only showing in one conventional cinema & 2 "art" theaters in the Boston area. Every show is sold out & I understand why. The intensity, coupled with the realism of the characters and their story, made this an outstanding film. It's sad that we read about this slum villages not just in Mumbai but in Rio & many other cities around the world but have no sense of what they are really all about. This film does that. Also, the ending after the credits would make a great stand alone video.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

It was so beautifully put together it was like a good novel, which I never think of movies. It had absorbing characters. It showed the beauty of the human spirit.

Slumdog Millionaire is stunningly beautiful, horrifying and uplifting all at the same time. Visually, it's extremely intense with some of the best art direction and editing I've seen in many years. You feel yourself in the midst of Mumbai -both suffocated and embraced by the characters' endless struggle to survive. The artifice of the TV game show works beautifully - tossing the viewer back and forth between deliverance and impending tragedy. Wow!

This is an amazing movie on many levels. Dramatic, romantic and suspenseful. While the depiction of the slums and the adversity there could have overwhelmed the movie, it doesn't. It instead drives the characters, the plot and the action to the finale. The movie could have simply been depressing given the subject matter, but ends up being uplifting. It fulfills its destiny as the best film this year.
