My Son the Fanatic Ratings & Reviews
Out Magazine
Peter Terzian
Credit Kureishi's sharp screenplay and a first-rate cast: Puri, one of India's best-known actors and rising star Griffiths are remarkable as the unlikely couple. Their nuanced and nurturing relationship make My Son the Fanatic a human-size beauty.

Michael Dequina
Puri and Griffiths work beautifully together.
San Francisco Examiner
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Powerful drama that takes cultural differences between family members seriously.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
The drama vividly conveys how certain brands of religion drive families apart instead of bonding them together.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Om Puri's performance is based on the substantial strength of his physical presence, and on his clear-sighted view of his world as an exile.
Film Journal International
Peter Henne
My Son the Fanatic, though sometimes funny, shows Kureishi deferring his human-bashing, and presenting an unsuspected warmth and lyricism.
