Review:

I really liked this film. The clever structure and charming actors contribute to a fine evening of 
entertainment. The horrors of the slums are not downplayed, though of course the movie is not a 
documentary on poverty, and we follow the story of the two brothers (see Dickens etc) with rapt 
attention. At the end you may walk out the cinema elated, not thinking about world inequality, but that 
doesn't mean the slumdogs have been exploited, it just shows you have seen a perhaps great film.
