Critic Reviews of "Dheepan"
Detroit NewsJune 17, 2016The film simmers and builds until it boils over in an explosive climax. And it shows how far people will go just to be able to cling to some semblance of hope.
San Diego ReaderJune 10, 2016Shooting on actual locations and with a cast of nonprofessional actors, writer-director Jacques Audiard keeps the neorealism pumping until a third act concession to conventionality (and vigilantism) leads it in the direction of Cannon Pictures.
Boston GlobeJune 09, 2016A Jacques Audiard movie looks deceptively naturalistic, but it's as tightly coiled as a thriller and it hides allegories. Despite a controversial left-hand turn in the final moments, "Dheepan" is no exception.
Washington PostJune 09, 2016Like the best fiction, it takes the most incomprehensible stories of our time and makes them hauntingly, inescapably clear.
Arizona RepublicJune 02, 2016For three-quarters of its running time, "Dheepan" feels like something special.
Film InquiryFebruary 18, 2017Dheepan should be a work of social-realism that helps us understand their plight, but only in the small moments does it feel the sum of its humanist intentions.
Sunday Times (UK)December 18, 2016The rich, well-acted drama doesn't gain much from an awkward shift into violent gangster-related action. Still, Audiard stages the urban warfare with his usual muscular flair, and this is a film that keeps hold of your attention.
Antagony & EcstasyDecember 11, 2016Terrific right up until a point near the end where it becomes kind of actively terrible in a really bold, gaudy way.
Common Sense MediaNovember 08, 2016Powerful, violent movie about three Sri Lankan refugees.
