Critic Reviews

This really is Audiard operating at the top of his game, mostly dropping the contrivances of "Rust & Bone" for incisive character studies and a deeply humane, almost warm, worldview.

This may not be the director’s most immediately electrifying film, but in its understated way, it’s an immensely powerful work.

Once again Audiard articulates big themes within a mosaic of everyday struggles. A painful yet rewarding tale of social strife and uplifting resilience.

Ultimately, Dheepan is the story of three people struggling to maintain their humanity, even as they lose their identities.

Jacques Audiard's film struggles to overcome the burden of its over-simplified, moralizing setup.
