Life Goes On (12A)

Drama


The critical consensus

The acting isn't always up to scratch but Datta's highbrow approach to grief makes for cerebral viewing and there's plenty of pathos too. A touching, thoughtful film.

***(*)(*)Patrick Peters, Empire Online, 07/03/2011

This golden light-bathed melodrama from UK-based director Sangeeta Datta holds back no sentimental flourishes.

**(*)(*)(*)Carmen Gray, Total Film, 07/03/2011

he acting is so stiff and self-conscious that one is half-tempted to file the dead mum as the tale's most convincing presence.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Xan Brooks, The Guardian, 10/03/2011

This likable if more than a trifle laboured Indian movie reworks King Lear in present-day London.
