Critic Reviews
Kapoor & Sons (2016) Review: A Family in Disrepair
★★★☆☆
Kapoor & Sons is Shakun Batra's Hindi family drama about estranged brothers returning home, messier and more honest than most, though uneven when it turns to tears.
It depends. Viewers who like messy, adult family drama will find plenty to admire; those wanting a tighter or lighter film may find it long and uneven.
