Metacritic
Director David Lean achieves a fine balance of creating complex characters from a fine cast, while keeping the pace up throughout this long movie.

The story in the jungle moves ahead neatly, economically, powerfully.
Richard Roeper
Chicago Sun-Times
Possibly Lean's most complicated movie, Kwai is a towering work.
