Devi Ratings & Reviews
Partisan Review
Pauline Kael
If there had been no [Apu] trilogy, I would say of Devi, "This is the greatest Indian film ever made."
InSession Film
Brian Susbielles
For Ray, it was another chapter to his ingenious.
Spectrum Culture
David Harris
Devi is Satyajit Ray's first explicitly political film, one that challenges religious zealotry and India's male-controlled power arrangements.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
It's beautifully made, as you'd expect, but there's a subtlety and lightness to Devi which make it entirely distinct.
Cleveland Press
Tony Mastroianni
Performances by Soumitra Chatterjee and Sharmila Tagore as the young husband and wife are movingly poignant.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Ray's lyrical images reflect on how the fervor of Hinduism can sometimes lead to misplaced worship.
TV Guide
Ray shows compassion and insight, telling the story in a subdued but fascinating manner.
New York Times
A haunting experience, and should have been, coming from afar from a man born to make movies.
F5 (Wichita, KS)
Jake Euker
Lacks the enraptured rhythms of The Apu Trilogy, but engrossing all the same.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
It's a film that bears all the hallmarks of Ray's best work: gracefulness, exquisite pacing and composition, love for his characters and a deep regard for the power of silence to tell a story.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
One of Satyajit Ray's greatest early films (1962), full of sensuality and ironic undertones.
