Review of Slumdog Millionaire (2008) by Oliver N — 08 Sep 2017
What do I make of this? It has some interesting, worthwhile bits with social commentary on poverty in the slums of India. Then it has the ridiculous contrivance of the game show. No idea why everyone is being so randomly dickish to Jamal? And then actually the more realistic plot turns into an eyerollable contrivance too.
The closing song and dance number is very nice but it has to be a thumbs down overall. 4.1 out of 10.
