“It’s a masterpiece for which terms like ‘simplicity’ and ‘profundity’ seem inadequate.” – Jonathon Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
“Standing above fashion, it creates a world so convincing that it becomes, for a time, another life we might have lived.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
“It is done with such rare feeling and skill at pictorial imagery, and with such sympathetic understanding of Indian character on the part of Mr. Ray, that it develops a sort of hypnotism for the serene and tolerant viewer.” – Bosley Crowther, New York Times
