In his review for The Hollywood Reporter, Peter Brunette stated the film was "a little less good than the hype" surrounding it, but still found its "adaptable energy" and its portrayal of India's "socioeconomic realities" very "refreshing."The Hollywood Reporter: Slumdog Millionaire Review (September 10, 2008)
The Wall Street Journal's Joe Morgenstern wrote in his review that "[t]here's never been anything like Slumdog Millionaire," calling it "groundbreaking in substance, damned near earth-shaking in style."The Wall Street Journal: At Rockies Fest, Indian Dazzler Is One of the Peaks (September 5, 2008)
