Apur Sansar Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
The Apu Trilogy, 36 years after its completion, remains one of the screen's great gifts.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The 'Apu Trilogy' is a true masterpiece, and The World of Apu is its crown jewel.
Dare Daniel
Daniel Barnes
There's a Billy Wilder-level cleverness to the first half of the film, which makes the earth-shattering tragedy of the second half all the more devastating.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
An impressive capstone is put not only upon a touching human drama but also upon the development of a genuine artist's skill.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
What we sense all through The Apu Trilogy is a different kind of life than we are used to.
Variety
Variety Staff
Director Satyajit Ray, with greater technical means, makes the truth of his relationships and the revelation of India the main trumps of the film. Wit, tenderness and intrinsic human revelations illuminate this unusual film.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Though the rhythm of the storytelling is choppy and Apu himself seems incompletely realized, the first appearance of the remarkable Sharmila Tagore as his well-to-do bride upgrades the film's middle section.
Esquire Magazine
Dwight MacDonald
What was direct has now become self-conscious. "Pather" was about a family in a village, "Apu" is about a young writer in a city, a more complex theme and I'm not sure Ray is up to it.

[Satyajit ] Ray offers one of the great love stories in the cinema in Apur Sansar, an impulsive marriage that blossoms into a beautiful relationship.

Satyajit Ray's Apu trilogy is pure cinema.
Old School Reviews
John A. Nesbit
In many ways, the final chapter of the trilogy weaves the most compelling story
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
Though Ray does a fantastic job of creating a very specific atmosphere, the deliberate manner in which the story unfolds proves to be more of a hindrance than anything else.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
As the concluding film of a much beloved trilogy, Apur Sansar is a fitting capstone to one of world cinema's greatest coming-of-age stories.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's a classic filmed in an old-fashioned timeless way that never goes out of fashion.
TIME Magazine
The World of Apu completes, in alternations of suffering and joy, one of the most vital and abundant movies ever made.
TV Guide
A rich and insightful picture.
