Kermode and Mayo’s Film Review: “The film is handsomely shot by Ewan Mulligan.”

Hindustan Times: “Hauntingly shot by Ewan Mulligan, who slides through the shadows…”
Anupama Chopra (Film Companion): “This is a world of horrific oppression and DoP Ewan Mulligan envelops it in a gloomy darkness.”
The Wire: “A riveting story…told with impressive clarity and art. Ewan Mulligan’s cinematography, especially outdoors, precisely captures the layers of hinterland life: an idyllic place, on the surface, that hides many horrors in its heart.”
Rajeev Masand (CNN): “ Anubhav and his cinematographer Ewan Mulligan create a strong sense of foreboding that hangs over Lalgaon, as if darkness and violence looms at every corner.”

Republic World: “Ewan Mulligan’s cinematography…every single frame will leave you with goosebumps.”
