The Warrior Ratings & Reviews
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
It is hardly the most original story, but Kapadia, the British-born son of Indian immigrants, infuses it so much with stately resonance and spiritual reverence, that it never seems remotely shopworn, much less laborious.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Long before the end, it takes on the quality of a wise fable and reveals itself as an enriching experience.
Boston Globe
Janice Page
If you can forgive its lapses in storytelling and character development, then Kapadia's 2001 feature filmmaking debut delivers, at minimum, an impressive visual account of a worthwhile spiritual journey.
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
A mournful meditation on killing for a living, Asif Kapadia's film is by turns poetic and preachy. It's also unexpectedly gripping.
Boston Herald
James Verniere
An expressively visual fable about a Rajput warrior who gives up a life of violence and bloodshed in exchange for a religious pilgrimage.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A film for moviegoers who love powerful stories and ravishing imagery.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
There's a pinch of Akira Kurosawa, a sprinkle of Clint Eastwood, and heaps of originality in this.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
What is best in the film is its depiction of the warrior's epic journey, photographed with breathtaking beauty and simplicity by Roman Osin.

Janos Gereben
A work of rare and consuming integrity
Newsday
Jan Stuart
The violence is of the high-minded, self-congratulatory sort that indicates without actually showing. This enables macho-but- sensitive cineastes to revel remorselessly in the idea of decapitated heads, sliced necks and severed limbs.
About.com
Jurgen Fauth
A beautiful and affecting meditation on what it takes to bring about peace.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
In the end it feels rather thin and less than the sum of its handsome parts.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
If you have patience, this is a stately, beautifully composed story.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
The Warrior may be mighty of sword but he is exceedingly limp of writing.
New York Times
Laura Kern
Asif Kapadia's feature debut is a minimalist but strikingly beautiful tale of renounced violence told with uncommon precision and depth.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Asif Kapadia's blazing feature debut, a gorgeously photographed saga with a fine sense of the way place shapes personality, has won numerous awards in the filmmaker's native Britain.
Village Voice
Uday Benegal
If this moralistic apologue appears a tad too simplistic, at least the pictures are pretty.
Variety
Derek Elley
It's in the larger canvas that the picture ends up short, with an elliptical style that sometimes leaves the viewer bereft of information and a seeming unwillingness to dig deeper into the psychology of its main character.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
I much prefer the full-throated passion of The Gate of the Sun, but it's to the film's credit that it's able to say so much with very little words.
The Hollywood Reporter
Joe Mader
The plot is simple to the point of being simplistic, and the characterizations are never more than rudimentary.
