Thomas Billeskov Poulsen: "Filmen er fremtidsvision for Indien, hvor landet efter århundreder med mord på spædbørn, aborter og småpigers langsomme død på grund af vanrøgt er blevet en nation uden kvinder." Resten af Thomas Billedskov Poulsens anmeldelse kan læses her.

Norsk G Nett: "Rystende og hjerteskjærende fortelling om hva som kan skje dersom det indiske samfunn virkelig skulle utrydde nyfødte pikebarn. De siste hundre år har et stort antall nyfødte pikebarn «forsvunnet» i India. Regissør Manish Jha setter det på spissen og beskriver en nær fremtid i en liten landsby rensket for kvinner. Et sted der menn klarer seg som best de kan, med hverandre, transvestitter, pornofilmer - og et og annet dyr." Læs mere og se billeder fra filmen her

Countercurrents.org: "Without women, men are not human. This metamorphosis of the male into animal if the world were to become womanless is the theme of "Matrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women". Perhaps the first full-length feature film on female infanticide, Matrubhoomi is noteworthy, not just because it is imaginative, but because it is less imagined, and more real, than it seems. Over 35 million girls have gone missing in our country in the last decade; killed while still foetuses, executed soon after they were born, murdered because of sheer neglect." Source/Read more

Wikipedia: "Matrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women is a 2003 Indian film written and directed by Manish Jha. The film examines the impact of female foeticide and female infanticide on the gender balance and consequently the stability and attitudes of society. Its storyline bears some resemblance to real-life instances of gender imbalance and economics resulting in fraternal polyandry and bride buying in some parts of India. It depicts a future dystopia in an Indian village populated exclusively by males due to female infanticide over the years." Source/Read more.
