“An utterly tedious watch, I saw this at the film festival here in Mumbai. There is no sense of progression or screenplay, no genuine engagement in characters, and actually itu0026#39;s very fertile material for all these things.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThat it was a true story only came to me when the film ended and I saw the final card with Nigel Slateru0026#39;s picture. But, an interesting life doesnu0026#39;t make for a great film (or even a good one), if the story is not well-told.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe genre u0026#39;TV Movieu0026#39; is right for this film, and that is where it should remain. It works at episodes strung together, watched at comfortable intervals. Itu0026#39;s not u0026#39;appetisingu0026#39; film viewing.”
