Midnight's Children synopsis: At the stroke of midnight on August 15th, 1947, as India declares independence from Great Britain, two babies are switched at birth by a nurse in a Bombay hospital. And so it is that Saleem Sinai, the bastard child of a beggar woman, and Shiva, the only son of a wealthy couple, are fated to live the destinies meant for each other. Over the next three decades, Saleem and Shiva find themselves on opposite sides of many a conflict, whether it be because of class, politics, romantic rivalry, or the constantly shifting borders that are drawn every time neighbors become enemies and decide to split their newborn nation into two, and then three, warring countries. Through it all, the lives of Saleem and Shiva are mysteriously intertwined. They are also inextricably linked to the history of India itself, which takes them on a whirlwind journey full of trials, triumphs and disasters. (c) Paladin.

Review For Midnight's Children
Rushdie's characteristic antic humor animates the family scenes, but the movie gets bogged down in endless plot convolutions and whimsy (the material would have worked better as a TV miniseries).
David Denby-New Yorker
In its steady great-books way, the film is often truthful and moving.
Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
A movie that, if never exactly dull, feels drained of the mythic juice that powers the book, which won the Booker Prize in 1981.
Rachel Saltz-New York Times
The cinematography is memorably vibrant, and the performances are solid, even if they pass by too swiftly. Most of all, of course, the subject matter remains fascinating.
Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News
Midnight's Children has the paradoxical misfortune of being both too rushed and too wearingly long.
Eric Hynes-Time Out New York
So lavish and unwieldy is the book, Rushdie's best, that a film of it can't help but feel like a helpless reduction, like a bucket of water passed off as an ocean.
Alan Scherstuhl-Village Voice
Stirring, beautifully filmed and highly personal history of India does right by Salman Rushdie's celebrated novel.
David Noh-Film Journal International
Both dreamy and dramatic, a fascinating view of Indian history seen through the prism of a personal story.
Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine
An ambitious film conveying the complicated and violent early history of India and Pakistan through the stories of two boys born on independence day.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice
Overproduced.
Harvey S. Karten-Compuserve
Deepa Mehta's respectful approach to the material may meander and simplify, but it gradually gains in emotional power, building into a moving account of a man whose many experiences mirror the growing pains of an independent India.
Allan Hunter-Screen International
Preserves much of the novel's intricacy and human drama, perhaps due to Salman Rushdie's involvement as co-screenwriter, even if it remains singularly unremarkable from a cinematic perspective.
Andrew Schenker-Slant Magazine
With an over-written screenplay and far too much material for audiences to digest, this film proves the rule that authors shouldn't adapt their own books into movies.
Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com
Considering Midnight's Children is bound up in notions of identity, it is faintly disastrous that this adaptation should be so lacking in one of its own.
Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph
The film is stunningly beautiful. And the story retains at least some of the elements that made the novel so special in its imagination, ambition and scope.
Brian Pendreigh-Radio Times
There is not enough space here to detail the plot, which is basically about two boys whose paths are swapped on the evening of India's independence.
Grant Rollings-Sun Online
Lacks soul, imagination and even basic logic.
Matthew Thrift-Little White Lies
There are some beautiful moments and some decent performances, but it's also something of a slog and ultimately fails to engage on an emotional level.
Matthew Turner-ViewLondon
