Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

ianlouisiana Sweet and naive J.Dench or sour - faced cynical M.Smith?That is the question. Both these formidable ladies play to their strengths here,comfortably stealing the film without breaking sweat. Although messrs Nighy and Pickup deliver their customary performances they are whistling into the wind. This is a slight tale of British pensioners retiring to live in India. Some find it Iiberating,,others vexing. There is nothing particularly entertaining or surprising on show but it is unobjectionable,almost soporific in tone. Quite why "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" has attracted such attention is not obvious to me. The apparent popularity of "Bollywood" to the main stream may account for this fascination,coupled with a jollop of post - colonial guilt . I can't help feeling that a more accurate picture of the British abroad can be gauged from "Benidorm". What The Garveys would make of Jaipur might be very different.

Kirpianuscus remarkable actors. and the right role for each. India in slices. and inspired puzzle of small personal stories. and, sure, atmosphere. a film who seems use as basic ingredient magic. because it transforms the characters in next door neighbors. because it propose portrait of ages, expectations, meetings and decisions in a delicate, precise manner. because it is that kind of parables who present yourself for the generous purpose to define life in its small pieces. because it is a trip in a universe who becomes more and more familiar. not exactly a story. but a fascinating puzzle who reminds old oracles. and the magnificent art and force and science of detail of each performance. humor. bitter in many occasions. and the air of freedom.obvious, must see it ! see

Shopaholic35 As I'm under the age of 70 I was not expecting to enjoy this movie as much as I did. In fact it was actually very brilliant. The main characters lives became intertwined seamlessly and each had their own individual perspective on life. A greater more talented British cast I have not seen. When they were all thrust together through circumstance they morphed into one well-rounded personality with the ability to develop into content adults. Maggie Smith and Judi Dench were particularly fantastic.While the cast of characters carry the movie the absolutely stunning backdrop of India sends it over the top. The vibrancy of the setting creates a fun and lively adventure for the viewer. It also seems like a perfect place to find oneself, which leaves you feeling motivated and inspired.

nzpedals So, a bunch of unbelievable English people head off to India for obscure and trivial reasons. India, a place where "yes" really means... "I don't know, but you expect me to say yes, and so I will", a place where business ethics in the street are about as rotten as in the boardrooms of London.But Judi Dench is imperious and gives huge status to the whole film. The rest, irrespective of good and great acting, are unreal. They traipse through their surroundings in a pointless, meaningless way that is not entertaining, and hardly rates calling it a story at all.So why rate it as high as a 3? Well, there are some great one-liners, ie, "Door is coming soon, most definitely", and the performance of Dench is worth an extra point.
