Reception[edit]
A critic from The Hindu wrote that "'The Outhouse' is an example of what intelligent cinema ought to be. The note of authenticity, the sensitive handling of a theme as delicate as marital violence and the extraordinary eye for detail (which one saw so easily in Satyajit Ray’s work) place "The Outhouse" in a class by itself".[7] A critic from Deccan Herald opined that "The Outhouse`s accomplishment lies in its complex character portrayal of its heroine, Priscilla, and its finely observed details of the everyday, the commonplace, that other movies usually take for granted".[8]
