TO KILL A TIGER

 "The Oscar-nominated doc from New Delhi-born director Nisha Pahuja is a powerful and risky example of the vitality of modern nonfiction filmed in South Asia… in following the tireless travails of one loving father and his valorous teenage daughter, To Kill a Tiger depicts a shining, poignant example of the difference individuals can make in altering the social fabric."

- Siddhant Adlakha, Variety

"This powerful Canadian documentary follows a child-rape case in India… What’s extraordinary about To Kill a Tiger is Kiran and Ranjit’s determination, and the possible changes for good that may result from it."

- Mark Jenkins, Washington Post

"To Kill a Tiger tells an important story in a compelling manner that makes it worth watching… As horrifying as much of what Pahuja documents is 

to witness, To Kill a Tiger manages to genuinely earn a final 

note of hopefulness.”

- Peter Sobczynski, RogerEbert.com

"To Kill a Tiger is about trauma and survival but also, discordantly, an extraordinarily beautiful film to look at. The use of color, light, and composition can be overlooked in considerations of documentary filmmaking when the themes are this powerful, but they 

are hard to miss here."

- Linda Holmes, NPR

"To Kill a Tiger, premiering at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, is a masterfully observant film, in which one family’s fight for justice becomes a larger parable about a pressing human rights issue."

- Pat Mullen, POV

"To Kill A Tiger is a beautifully understated piece of cinema and a quietly powerful statement on the exploitation of women… the finished product must be the result of extensive and careful editing in order to tell the story coherently. This made veteran editor Mike Munn absolutely vital 

to the work’s success."

- Monica Reid, Far Out Magazine

"Pahuja and Munn set a leisurely pace in the film’s early going, but once the threats begin and the trial takes center stage, To Kill a Tiger becomes a gripping courtroom drama."

- Tom O’Brien, Next Best Picture

“To Kill a Tiger is a riveting, eye-opening and engrossing documentary about a father's quest to find justice after 13-year-old daughter was sexually assaulted by three men in an Indian village…To Kill a Tiger is a small light in a dark room which could help inspire others to speak out against injustice.” 

- NYC Movie Guru

"A brutal and incisive look into the labyrinthian Indian justice system… It’s a powerful, infuriating document of a family’s resilience in the face of massive communal pressure and to the notion that these types of small, necessary shifts can add up."
