3.5/5
"Attenborough's heavy-handed direction nearly derails the film, but Kingsley’s performance saves the day -- a rare thing of beauty, a joy that will be with us forever."  Daily-Reviews  Dan Jardine

B
"Attenborough's crowning achievement as a director."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

8/10
"[The world] really needs this film."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Dragan Antulov

"Offers a conscience-exercising, mind-stretching, and soulful experience as it honors the great Indian leader who was an ethical giant and a visionary."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

5/5
"Epic tale about one man's journey down the transforming path of wisdom and peace."  Netflix  James Rocchi

3.5/4
"It’s really not nearly as bad as I feared it might be."  MovieMartyr.com  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."  DVDTown.com  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."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

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 Patton was, Gandhi is emotionally engaging but taxing on the viewer's stamina. Ben Kingsley is astounding."  Oscar Guy  Wesley Lovell
