    • 2017 December 6, Jesse Green, “Review: ‘A Room in India’ Overflows With Astonishing Visions”, in The New York Times[1]:
      Though Ms. Mnouchkine is more of a blithe cultural appropriator than a purveyor of stereotypes, the sex-crazed sheikhs seem to go too far. “A Room in India” also tries, with mixed success, to see if terrorists can be made funny, in the manner of the Keystone Kops. And yet, for all of the company’s catholic tastes, there are lines of relativism it will not cross.
