Pretty fantastic. Danny Boyle's style is unmistakable and he uses it here to full effect, accentuating a wonderful coming of age story with a palate that visually represents what this sort of powerhouse romance, sprinkled with bits of destiny, would feel like. This film uses its environment to grand effect, making India look both devastating and illuminating, almost all at once. This is a very visceral film, leaving the viewer almost exhausted with its pace and its substance. A wonderful, wonderful film from an incredibly talented filmmaker who has made some of the most intriguing and interesting films of the past decade. Bravo.
Side Note: The actress who played the female lead, Freida Pinto, is absolutely gorgeous, and should this film do well, I see a bright future for her in American film...
