...Eloquently expressive and technically exquisite....The score, springing from the talents of Ravi Shankar and George Fenton is a major plus in evocation of the film's many emotional variations...
Variety
The movie aims primarily to demonstrate how such a man could accomplish so much, but also how monumental his task was and how it ultimately claimed his life

...The embattled spirit of respect for human dignity and the need for mutual tolerance flow clearly through the film...

Gandhi is illustrative, but not creative. [Full Review in Spanish]

El Pais (Spain)
Tthe film Gandhi is more stuffy than stately, more prestigious than prodigious. It never quite captures the essence of Gandhi, or the influence he exerted on other leaders, including Martin Luther King. It's a broad but shallow river of information.

Christian Science Monitor
The inability to capture moments of simple, uncomplicated emotion show up the hollowness and over-staged theatricality of Richard Attenborough's Gandhi with exasperating frequency.

The Spectator
Grievously doting and squeamishly evasive.
