Jeremy Heilman
9/10
"...a huge, sprawling, old-fashioned epic...yet it manages also to maintain an intimacy with its subject that helps us to understand Gandhi as a person as much as an icon."

John J. Puccio
9/10
"The film opens with an acknowledgment that it can't do justice to an entire life but that it will content itself with capturing the spirit of the man."

A
"Overshadowing even Ben Kingsley's astonishing, transcendent performance in his first major screen role is a larger, more formidable presence: that of Gandhi himself."
Decent Films Guide
Steven D. Greydanus
3/4
"Every bit the biopic that

was,
Gandhi
is emotionally engaging but taxing on the viewer's stamina. Ben Kingsley is astounding."
