As the opening subtitles of the movie say: a person's life cannot be told with a single story, only the essence of which can be faithfully recorded to try to understand a person's spiritual world. And this film does retell Gandhi's life in the shortest possible time. From this point of view, the film was very successful.
From my point of view, this movie is not my type (I like "The Social Network"), but it gives me the shortest amount of time to understand what I should know.
So, even though it's not my genre, I still think it's a great film. It's the same attitude I have with "The King's Speech," and their scene compositions are both great.
PS: This is the second film I've seen with an intermission, the first being Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai".
