Fatal culture clash, imperialist entitlement, forbidden passion between master and servant: the ingredients of the Indian director Santosh Sivan's period piece Before the Rains may be awfully familiar, but the film lends them the force of tragedy.Full Review
Stephen Holden
The New York Times
As scripted by Cathy Rabin and directed by Santosh Sivan, Before the Rains is never less than compelling, but never more than adequately realized.Full Review
Steven Rea
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tells the kind of story that would feel right at home in a silent film, and I suppose I mean that as a compliment.Full Review
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
A hodgepodge in the raj -- a predictable patchwork of forbidden romance, English arrogance, a gun given as a gift, suicide, corruption, deception, rising Indian nationalism and a short-lived chase through the jungle.Full Review
Washington Post
The film's chief asset is its superbly atmospheric evocation of its period milieu.Full Review
