Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
[Director] Sarin was aiming for an epic and arrived at episodic. That might have been okay if the episodes weren't so partitioned from each other, the flashbacks failing to illuminate the present action.

rotten:
Where the film stumbles is the script, overcrowded with bits of business and scenes that lean heavily on the symbolic.

fresh:
Partition doesn't add many new ideas to the mix, but the deep colors and complex textures supplied by Indian-born cinematographer-turned-director Vic Sarin seem to embody the intensity of his boyhood memories.

rotten:
The period reconstructions are impressive but the script and direction are a little pedestrian.
