Give it a chance and prepare to be dazzled

Ship of Theseus is a sign of evolution in filmmaking, a work of art. I cannot award such artistry with mere stars

By far the most original, the most poignantly realised, the most thought-provoking film that I have seen in longer than I care to remember

Cinema is a powerful vehicle for philosophical ideas in Anand Gandhi’s visually sublime Ship of Theseus

Like the ship itself, the film breaks you down from within, part by part as you leave the theatre with images and sounds reverberating in your head making you uneasy

In Ship of Theseus, Gandhi gives us one of the most satisfying closures to a film. If some sections of the audience start to tear up towards the end that will be okay. Those would be tears of joy and of discovering a very special film

Ship Of Theseus is definitely a stimulating affair but not without its flaws

Gandhi's ruminative subject, catering to art-house cinema lovers is deeply layered and beautifully intricate.The story-telling is not without flaws. The pace is exhaustingly slow and scenes monotonously long
