4.5/5BMR estimate

The critic gave no star rating, so BMR estimated one from the words of the review. The critic praises the film as a brilliant, emotionally moving tribute to Satyajit Ray with standout performances, stunning cinematography, and excellent direction, noting only minor meta-discussions around its creation. This enthusiastic reception lands squarely among the highest recommendations just shy of a theoretical absolute masterpiece. How estimates work
