Nayyi Navelli movie review: what critics say (14)
What critics say Critics are divided: 3 of 14 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 7 gave it 2 or less. Criticised: the script and the action.
The feminist angle, which gave the film its initial fillip, is forgotten, replaced by an unwatchable mess. Films revolving around strong female characters will always be welcome, but those stories need to be told well.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
