Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The Apu Trilogy, 36 years after its completion, remains one of the screen's great gifts.
– Edward Guthmann,

fresh:
What we sense all through The Apu Trilogy is a different kind of life than we are used to.
– Roger Ebert,

fresh:
An impressive capstone is put not only upon a touching human drama but also upon the development of a genuine artist's skill.
– Bosley Crowther,

fresh:
Though the rhythm of the storytelling is choppy and Apu himself seems incompletely realized, the first appearance of the remarkable Sharmila Tagore as his well-to-do bride upgrades the film's middle section.

fresh:
Director Satyajit Ray, with greater technical means, makes the truth of his relationships and the revelation of India the main trumps of the film. Wit, tenderness and intrinsic human revelations illuminate this unusual film.
