Ben Kingsley turns in the performance of a lifetime with his wonderful portral of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. And while the film is a little over three hours, it didn't so really and I think it worked well in both showing his struggle to breakaway from English rule while also trying to unify Muslims and Hindus in an independent India. My only real beef with the film was that the film opened up with the beginning, which I felt spoiled it a bit for me.
