Siddharth Ratings & Reviews
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
Though at times "Siddharth" can resemble a well-photographed report on India's social and economic ills, Mehta subtly employs different styles to sustain the poetry, poignancy, and drama.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
"Siddharth" is a well directed, written, acted and photographed film that should appeal beyond India with its universal story about a father's love for his son.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
"Siddharth" provides something more valuable than a tidy resolution: a glimpse of the complicated nature of life a world away.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
Writer/director/editor Richie Mehta ("Amal") has created a modern day "Bicycle Thieves" with this devastating tale of an illiterate man trying to find his son with next to nothing to go on amidst the teaming masses of India.
Oregonian
Kim Morgan
The film never feels less than utterly real in its depiction of both everyday Indian life and the hopelessness that comes so naturally in this sort of tragic situation.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Not the easiest sit, but Siddharth rewards the brave with a study of pained determination and portrait of Indian life that offers a few surprises.
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
Such a movie is a rare and elusive thing.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
A spare, lean, and decidedly unsettling account of the ugly reality of child labor and child abduction in India.
Newsday
John Anderson
Part of what makes "Siddharth" so troubling and moving is the difficulty we have situating our sympathies.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
It all feels very real.

Kirk Honeycutt
RIchie Mehta takes care to seek no melodramatic situations or easy villains, unless the villain is the uncaring society in which his hero lives.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
A film of subdued but mounting panic and grief - an unsentimental portrait of poverty in contemporary India and of a benighted man's efforts to understand the world beyond his workaday struggles.
NewsBlaze
Prairie Miller
A disturbing and devastating descent into Third world poverty, exploitation and desperation, more often than not mere backdrop to the social insularity of most other movies. Yet weighing in provocative ways, struggle and exploitation as inevitably bound.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
It's suspenseful and heartbreaking, and doesn't provide easy answers.
RogerEbert.com
Odie Henderson
A sense of hopelessness invades every frame of "Siddharth," yet its story is not emotionally manipulative.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Its portrayal of impoverished, careworn people barking at one another and protecting their territory in a daily struggle is bracingly hardheaded.
Film Journal International
David Noh
Unfortunately, Mehta does not retain a firm grip on his storyline and the film, perhaps too enraptured by the bustlingly colorful locales of India, which are featured in lengthy, dialogue-less passages, becomes rather meandering.
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Louis Proyect
A view of India that is a corrective to the "economic miracle" mythology promoted in the corporate media presented in powerful neorealist terms.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
For all its scenes of orphans and hardscrabble street life, and its spirit of shrugging helplessness, Siddharth always feels ferociously personal.
Slant Magazine
Wes Greene
A well-intentioned story of an impoverished father searching for his missing child is muddled by an ambitious sociological agenda in Richie Mehta's film.
