The White Tiger Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
The White Tiger has an icy-cool, slick visual style and an unsubtle but effective running commentary about social warfare.
Rolling Stone
K. Austin Collins
For its letdowns, The White Tiger offers its writer-director an encouragingly big canvas, which is heartening for an artist whose early work managed to take an inch and run a mile, proving all the more evocative for being so streetwise and constrained.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
It's the same get-out-of-our-way attitude that makes "The White Tiger" so memorable.
Perri Nemiroff (YouTube)
Perri Nemiroff
A wild, stylized ride with just the grounded touch needed to infuse this whirlwind with great purpose and heart.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The caste system has figured in a lot of movies about India but I've never seen one quite like The White Tiger, which explores with devastating effect how such a system can distend the souls of both servants and their masters.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Balram's tale is rich and ruthless enough for both approaches, and for any country built on a premise of one class eating another.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
The White Tiger feels like a fable, one that illustrates how trapping people in poverty so there will always be someone to do wealthier folks' bidding is as much a function of psychology and culture as of economic opportunity.
NME (New Musical Express)
Linda Marric
Frustratingly naive one minute and coldly calculating the next, Gourav manages to make Balram likeable for the duration of the film. If you're looking for a Friday night movie to while away a few lockdown hours - The White Tiger is the perfect choice.
The New Republic
Karthik Purushothaman
Through [a] climactic nod to Naipaul's merciless depiction of underdeveloped India, no matter how many fortunate individuals might escape it, Bahrani's The White Tiger subverts the standard-issue poverty porno...
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
Through this unique figure, and through this highly specific portrait of one country, The White Tiger achieves a kind of universality.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
The movie naturally pulses with life and energy, invigorated by its narrative sweep, its nimble camerawork and propulsive musical score composed by Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
The White Tiger is a bitter indictment of caste-system rigidity embedded within a Scarface-like, rags-to-riches story...
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
The final act isn't quite equal to the build-up, but by then, The White Tiger has already pretty well sunk its teeth into you, making the investment in understanding Balram's fate feel like two hours well spent.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
Watching Gourav pull off such a balancing act is the best reason to see "The White Tiger."
Vanity Fair
Richard Lawson
It's an old form, the arc of a young protagonist scrappily building a life for themselves, episode by episode. But Bahrani gives it a vivid refresh, avoiding the cheap sentiment and blinkered uplift that often plagues modern tales like this.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
The White Tiger is an altogether extraordinary film,representing a perfect marriage between a gifted filmmaker and an incendiary novel.
New York Post
Johnny Oleksinski
The real find here is Gourav, who gives a pressure-cooker turn as Balram, a guy who can no longer smile and nod at his own oppression.
Salon.com
Gary M. Kramer
A terrifically cynical yet sanguine tale of bootstrapping.... What makes this contemptuous tale glorious is that Bahrani's stinging social commentary has exuberance even during its darker moments.
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
Unpredictability pulls this perceptive film over the rough spots. The element of surprise is a definite asset.
ABC News
Peter Travers
Priyanka Chopra-Jonas lends her beauty and star power to Ramin Bahrani's unwieldy but enthralling screen adaptation of Aravind Adiga's bestselling novel about the haves and have-nots in modern India.
