Reviews.

Miami Herald. Rene Rodriguez. 10/10

A terrific (great) yarn, one so engrossing (prenant) and surprising that the nature of the story's structure -- each question Jamal gets asked on the show corresponds with a traumatic or momentous( key/important) moment from his childhood -- never feels like a contrived framing device ( ça ne semble pas faux).

Washington Post. Ann Hornaday. 9/10

Like all good fairy tales (comtes de fées), this outsize celebration of perseverance and moral triumph contains within it a deeper (plus profond) idea -- in this case, the relative nature of what we think we know, and what's worth knowing at all. No doubt Dickens* himself would approve.

Rolling Stone. Peter Travers. 8,8/10

Brimming (rempli de) with humor and heartbreak (amour impossible), Slumdog Millionaire meets at the border of art and commerce and lets one flow into the other as if that were the natural order of things.

Time. Richard Corliss. 8/10

Despite its elements of brutality, this is a buoyant hymn to life, and a movie to celebrate.

The New York Times. Manohla Dargis. 7/10

In the end, what gives me reluctant (peu disposé) pause about this bright, cheery, hard-to-resist movie is that its joyfulness feels more like a filmmaker's calculation than an honest cry from the heart about the human spirit (or, better yet, a moral tale).
