Review :

The film, following a linear narrative beginning with the dying Shakuntala and closing with her death, leaves the question of human rights hanging in the air. Wait Until Death blends the genres of the “environmental”, “Human Rights” and “investigative” documentary to make it a powerful political statement on cinema. - The Telegraph
