Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

externalreviews Hot on the heels of Lion comes another needle-in-a-haystack mystery set in India. Beyond the Known World will no doubt garner many comparisons to Lion; it is set predominantly in India, concerns the search of a missing family member, and has a contingent of Australasian cast members - one of whom is David Wenham (who also starred in Lion). However, despite these similarities the film is quite different in many respects ... and it will cost you a lot less in tissues.

carl-85 Beautifully shot in India, this is an intense experience that kept me engaged from start to finish. Especially as a parent of grown kids I could empathise with the lead roles. The emotional tension is sustained throughout without ever going over the top. The stunning scenery and excellent cinematography are a nice bonus. Recommended.
