filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

bkoganbing I think that of all 20th century statesman Charles DeGaulle would have understood Jinnah best. DeGaulle during the darkest days of World War II said that in his mind and body rested the honor of France, that rump minority group of Free French fighters whom he led who would not submit to an occupying territory. DeGaulle saw himself correctly and he would have seen Jinnah in the same way, fighting for the honor of his Moslem people for their right to a separate nation and a separate destiny which we call Pakistan.It's now a time for Jinnah to receive his eternal destination after he died and Christopher Lee as Jinnah is with his heavenly host in the view of the afterlife Islam has. The film is a recollection of those last years with World War II, the British leaving India, and the partition that created India and Pakistan. Pakistan had an East and West part with the nation of India in between. That ultimately didn't work out and we now call East Pakistan the nation of Bangladesh. But that's a whole other film.With Richard Lintern playing a younger Jinnah and showing incidents of Jinnah's personal life, Lee is the older Jinnah and the principal actors in the creation of Pakistan by way of the partition are James Fox as Lord Louis Mountbatten, Maria Aitken as Lady Edwina Mountbatten and Robert Ashby as Jawaralal Nehru. Nehru, India's first prime minister and Lady Mountbatten were a most discreet item and it's this film's contention that Nehru did a lot of back channel negotiation with Lady Mountbatten. They were as discreet as Tracy and Hepburn in their day.Pakistan had a rough delivery at birth, but survived it. It was a violent birth and millions died during the fleeing of refugees from both new countries. It is this film's contention that Lord Mountbatten settled on untenable lines for the boundaries of the two countries and the possession of Kashmir is to this day a matter of contention.Jinnah due to the controversy of having a western actor in the lead had its own controversial birth. But Lee and Lintern create a fine joint portrayal of Pakistan's founder and Jinnah is a fine film both entertaining and educational.

Muhammad Arslan I am not a regular reviewer hence no earlier reviews from me on IMDb but this movie made me to log in and write. Only few lines i can say...Though, it covers only a very little part of Mr Muhammad Ali Jinnah... but clearly brings the character under the light for the world to see the greatness of the leader. I do believe that Jinnah is a leader who is not given the coverage that he deserved but this movie is a REMARKABLE EFFORT.... I don't blame the direction as this story really is too big to be covered in a given time of a movie... so i would give 10 out of 10 for the movie... At least it present the facts on a better scale.

rasikararaja This movie is totally one sided and it was expected.It is impossible for any one from Pakistan or India to make a movie about our founding fathers without showing the other side in negatively. The intentions of both the founding fathers,Mr.Jinnah and Mr.Gandhi were good but they failed miserably in creating leaders who would carry forward their plans. Mr.Jinnah will be turning in his grave after the state in which Pakistan currently is ,same thing can be said about India as well.They say hindsight is always 20/20. What would have happened if both Mr.Jinnah and Mr.Gandhi were to study in USA rather than Great Britain. The ideas they would have had might have been different and they may have dealt the issue differently. The reason is , the would have influenced more on Democracy and power to the people rather than the monarchy the style which most of the politicians from both side have inherited.

dr_tooley2 I can't comment on the political merits of this film, as I am just a film critic.As a film this abomination has nothing to recommend it. The acting is so wooden it wasn't good enough for a shampoo advert. The direction so stilted there was detectable stench in the room. And a script not good enough for a kindergarten club.Prior to this I thought "Sex lives of the Potato men" was the worst film of all time. How wrong I was!If this film was supposed to change my opinion of Jinnah it didn't. By the end I was nauseated I wanted to punch the director. The best thing that could happen to this film would have been to caste Ali G as Jinnah. At least then it would have some laughs. As it is it has no beauty, no direction and no ideas.
