Jumping between bureaucratic manoeuvring and matters of the heart isn't always packaged with the smoothest transitions, and doesn't give either side of the story much depth.

Anderson's performance is a meticulous assemblage of gestures and intonations -- stiff-necked posture together with an aristocratic drawl -- which sit oddly but believably with Edwina's liberal disposition and sharp instinct for game-playing.

Fascinating, infuriating, entertaining and perhaps misleading.

"Viceroy's House" clumsily merges a waxworks biographical study of Lord Louis and Lady Edwina Mountbatten ... with a passionless Romeo-and-Juliet romance between two of their servants caught in the fray.

Chadha's passion is surely part of what makes Viceroy's House so accessible.

Clumsily fuses political drama with romantic melodrama.

The film feels like a six-part miniseries, condensed.

A strength of the film is its balanced nature. While events may not have taken place precisely as depicted, you do see varying points of view in deciding the right path to independence.

Chadha has distilled a fascinating and epic true story into a starchy, stuffy, sanitized period piece that never fully engages on an emotional or educational level.

This material could make for a powerful work, but "Viceroy's House" is certainly not it. The film's chief offense is its bland inoffensiveness.
