Peepli Live Ratings & Reviews
National Catholic Reporter
Sr. Rose Pacatte
Globalization does not have to be inhumane.
UR Chicago Magazine
John Esther
A better writer than director, the strength of Rizvi's 'Peepli Live' is the film's unsentimental portrayal of the poor
AV Club
Noel Murray
This is a movie that opens with the hero puking, and spends the rest of its running time showing why that may be the only sane response to the state of the world.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
The juxtaposition of the tragedy and the lunacy of the circumstances are not completely disparate; satire is an appropriate weapon here, but it's the drama in Peepi Live that truly resonates.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
A poignant soaicl satire, with some elements of a funny screwball comedy about contemporary life in India, its greedy media, complex politics, and diverse populace.
Film-Forward.com
Nora Lee Mandel
Broad, entertaining satire, with heartfelt pleas, on the difficulties for the farmers and those who try to help them.
New York Times
Rachel Saltz
A fitfully amusing Indian comedy that touches on a hot-button topic.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
You can't decide whether to laugh because the events are so absurd or cry because you can imagine them really happening.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
I liked Peepli Live, which is colorful and at times quite lively, but I wish it were funnier and its satirical edge a bit sharper.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Manages to mine substantial dark humor from this tragic situation while offering pointed -- and sometimes poignant -- social commentary in the process.
Moving Pictures Magazine
Jay Antani
Its comical, sharply observant caricatures of India's political and media jackals offers a much-needed reality check in a country where celluloid escapism is too often the rule.
Movieline
Michelle Orange
I just wish what [Rizvi] had to tell us about the India of today might have taken a form less distractingly reminiscent of the American classics of yesteryear.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A satisfying and searing satire on the plight of poor farmers in India and the lack of sympathy or understanding of them by the rich and the powerful who have their own plans for national progress.
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
Takes a deep look at an everyday tragedy and provides the humorous dimension that underscores the pathos. Who says Bollywood is only interested in lightweight romantic musicals?
Village Voice
Aaron Hillis
It's an unusual taste of mainstream Indian cinema, unexpectedly irreverent with an earthier, folkier soundtrack than the typical Bollywood electro-bounce.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
Peepli Live forgets to "consider the person" in whom it's allegedly interested.
WBAI Radio
Prairie Miller
In the course of this exhilarating journey, Silu and her female comrades resiliently move back and forth between everyday personas as dirt poor serfs struggling for meager subsistence, and battalions beaming with pride and political passion.
