"One of the most vital and abundant movies ever made... [Ray] has superb control of his camera. His images are continuously beautiful but never obtrusive... there is nothing arty in his art... Ray's film has the generosity and the prodigal variety of genius."
(Edward Harrison, Time, 1960)
"Rich and contemplative, and a great, convincing affirmation."
(Pauline Kael)
"The masterpiece of the series."
(Scheuer)
"Ray has been criticized for failing to give a clear picture of the changing India. Here we see industrialization, get a quick view of a picket line, hear of strike-breaking, get a glimpse of a decrepit school where no education is possible and the back room of a factory where workers waste their lives "labeling" for slave wages, and, of course, we see the poverty."
(Danny Peary)
“A slow, spiritual, beautifully acted Indian film that brings to a triumphant close one of the most impressive trilogies in the history of the cinema.”
(R.A.E. Pickard, 1971)
