This is the most satisfying film I've seen in the past few years. Beginning with a fresh story and exceptional script, it has been built with wonderful, nuanced acting and great cinematography by a director who is a master of storytelling. It's impossible not to become completely absorbed in this film and to leave the theatre wanting to go back and see it again the next day.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Finally, an unpredictably, beautiful film! Raw, emotional, and capturing, this film engages every part of you the whole 2 hours and 10 min. One of the best films I've seen in a long, long time.

The early scenes can be a little diffcult to take - the poverty is overwhelming - but it's an amazing story of character, and good triumphing over evil. And best of all it's a love story! I LOVED IT!.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

An improbable subject with improbable "reality" that grabs you from the first moments and won't let go until the lights come on. Danny Boyle has found a perfect cast to tell a freight train paced story about complex India. You laugh... but there is much to cry about as well.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The movie is stunning. I loved everything about it. The story is totally original and engaging. The characters are rich, the acting is wonderful and it's beautifully cast. The pace is exhilarating. It has momentum from the very first scene. The soundtrack is fantastic and the editing inspired. It has a sensational ending that is uplifting and life-affirming. It does everything you want a movie to do: take you away, reveal a world you've never seen before, and ultimately leave you feeling great. The entire audience burst into applause at the end, some spontaneously stood. Danny Boyle has not only done it again, he's achieved a new plateau. He's absolutely brilliant. I'm seeing it again.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

From the slums of Mumbai to the palace of a crime lord, Danny Boyle has fully captured the horror and the beauty and the spirit of the citizens of Mumbai and crafted it into a spectacular story of survival, hope and love.
He takes the lexicon of Hindi language cinema and turns it into a treat for Western audiences. The acting, how the story unfolds, the music, everything comes together for a visual feast. I will see this again in the theatres when it goes into limited release later this month, and will bring a crowd of people with me. This is a visual treat that should not be missed by any cinema lover.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This Danny Boyle movie about a dirt-poor Indian orphan & his picaresque early life and rise to fame via a game show is a perfect mixture of everything I love in a film: I learned about the modern Indian culture by being visually immersed in the teeming world of Mumbai; I laughed; I gasped in shock; I came close to crying; I sat on the edge of my seat; I rooted for the underdog; and I got that love story and happy ending that Americans demand. There were even some action sequences and violence for those who require them and a Bollywood-style dance sequence during the final titles.Who would have thought that using the Indian version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" as the framework for a film would result in such a rich and rewarding work?
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I read the "Q&A" book by Vikas Swarup, which the movie was based about, and the movie was so exciting !
I loved it, and I love the work of Danny Boyle as well.
I especially loved to see the truth story about the poverty in India, they did not censored the truth.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
