Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
[Of] importance is the possibility that the film will bring Gandhi to the attention of a lot of people around the world for the first time, not as a saint but as a self-searching, sometimes fallible human being with a sense of humor as well as of history.

A remarkable experience.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

rotten:
Attenborough's work lacks even the undercurrent of personality that David Lean brought to his films: the film has no flavor but that of the standard Hollywood hagiography.
– Dave Kehr,
