Review:
One thing is for certain about this film: Kingsley is brilliant in his portrayal of Gandhi. With subtle acting that captures the voice and mannerisms of this inspirational, charismatic leader, Kingsley helps Gandhi become the cinematic masterpiece that it is. I was also impressed by the music, cinematography and historical depiction of India in the 1930s and 40s. Quiet and understated, Gandhi abounds with the top-notch acting, skillful directing and masterful cinematography of a classic film.
For Parents:
Some violence (beating, clubbing, rioting, a decapitation off-screen) that is probably today's PG-13
My Rating:
*****
