3/4
Trishna engages the potent collisions of the rural and the urban, the poor and the rich, and considers how these interactions unfold in a romance and how they might also destroy it. Go to Full Review

Winterbottom has complete control of the film's look and feel, but the story seems to run away from him. Go to Full Review

The film abruptly shifts gears from love story to tragedy to unwatchable torture porn. Go to Full Review

Rey G Jul 29, 2017 Slow and beautiful and meditative, Trishna is an adaptation of Hardy's "Tess of D'Urbervilles". It's as lush as Bollywood and as muted as the original story, though with major deviations. For those who may not know the original Tess, it stands on its own as a study of a passive young girl and the seductive young man whose life crosses with hers. See more
