Review For The Pool
Patekar's ability to convey stoic forbearance with so little apparent effort, is one of the marvellous rewards of this intricately textured and compelling film. Greg Quill-Toronto Star A miraculous, American-made Hindi film that is every bit as tranquil as the blue-green reservoir that serves as its abiding metaphor. Stephen Cole-Globe and Mail Reality and fiction fuse like watercolors in this quietly compelling narrative feature. Andrea Gronvall-Chicago Reader It's a movie about a time, a place and a situation that isn't going to change soon. [Director] Smith takes his time to establish the people, the landscape and the striking contrast between the lives of the very rich and the very poor. John Hartl-Seattle Times It's a bit schematic and sweet-natured, perhaps to a fault, yet the faces linger. Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune By pushing himself far outside his Midwestern comfort zone and working with non-actors in a language he doesn't speak, Smith has created a fable with universal appeal. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune Though plot-wise nothing much happens, Smith elicits strong sense of place and teases out the film's themes ... Alistair Harkness-Scotsman It's a subtle, truthful, moving story of class, ambition, friendship and romantic yearning, extremely well acted by a largely non-professional cast. Philip French-Observer [UK] [A] wholly unobjectionable, likeably performed but faintly soporific drama ... Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph Shot with a level of realism we rarely seen in Indian cinema, this film combines sharply engaging characters with an involving story that really gets under the skin. A Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com Told with real warmth and charm, this is a confidently handled tale boosted by natural, engaging performances from Venkatesh and Jahangir Badshah as his young friend. Allan Hunter-Daily Express It tells you a lot about South India, its essentially rural culture and the stifling poverty of its underclass. Derek Malcolm-This is London Smith's film is natural and unforced, with a winning fluency and calm observational style. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] Hopefully Smith will make more movies in this laid-back, poetic style. David Jenkins-Little White Lies Here are filigree detailing, pure-and-simple performances (especially from Venkatesh Chavan as the boy) and a subtly lambent moral tale ... Nigel Andrews-Financial Times A fascinating narrative set in modern-day Indian and full of insights into a class-riven country. David Parkinson-Empire Magazine It tells a tale so sweetly elemental and classic that it could pretty much have happened along at any point in storytelling history. Hannah McGill-The List Satisfying tale of marginalized youth struggling to survive alone in a cold world and dreaming of success despite all odds against them. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews Shimmers silently. A quietly remarkable film, for its seeming simplicity, its careful rhythms, and its interest in a place and its spirit. Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) The Pool is beautiful to look at, and, for what it conveys about human nature, to experience. Liz Braun-Jam! Movies worth seeing, primarily for its beautiful Goa setting John A. Nesbit-Old School Reviews Based on a story by Randy Russell, The Pool is a low-key film that often feels like a documentary...
