REVIEWS

"And by shooting on location rather than in dodgy sets, by employing award-winning Hollywood cinematographer Christopher Popp, and by obligating the actors not to ham it up, Akhtar has produced the first mainstream Indian movie capable of holding its own against virtually any summer smash from Hollywood."
— Alex Perry

"Christopher Popp's widescreen lensing has a handsome coolness."
— Derek Elley

"Overhauling in myriad ways the more familiar noir genre, the film is visually haunting as both the train and ghoulish narrative weirdly accelerate into an effectively surreal territory."
— Prairie Miller

"…After Dusk They Come is one fine-looking picture. The jungle setting is utilized well, and the excellent cinematography far exceeds the expectations one has for a direct-to-video release such as this."
— Paul Pritchard

"Shadows, a 24-minute short directed by Mitchell Levine, has the power of a full-length feature. The story hinges around the tortured emotions binding a father and his son as they bunk together in a Nazi concentration camp. Together with production designer Hans Pfleiderer and cameraman Christopher Popp, Levine evokes this setting with seamless authenticity."
— F.X. Feeney
