Dheepan Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Like the best fiction, it takes the most incomprehensible stories of our time and makes them hauntingly, inescapably clear.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
A story of survival, of assimilation - and of alienation.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
A 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.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
The 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.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
For three-quarters of its running time, "Dheepan" feels like something special.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
Shooting 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.
San Francisco Chronicle
Michael Ordoña
It burrows into the hearts and minds of human beings trying to find a world in which it's possible to have a life worth living.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
It's simply that Dheepan's cultural clashes are richer than its man-vs-thug ones.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Dheepan, for all its flaws, is hard-hitting in ways that count. It has the intimacy of a personal drama but the amplitude of a much larger immigrant odyssey.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
A compelling drama that might have worked even better without the action-thriller shadings. The unknown actors are pitch-perfect.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
"Dheepan" is finely-drawn, beautifully shot and acted, featuring complex characters doing their best in no-win situations.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The nonprofessional actors deliver stirring performances and Audiard never sentimentalizes the characters' situation. And despite the film's misguided climax, Audiard again demonstrates that he is one of the top filmmakers working today.
TheWrap
Robert Abele
Further cements Audiard as a singular chronicler of roiling souls desperately navigating a way out of circumstances that threaten to upend them entirely.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
It is not unusual, after viewing one of Jacques Audiard's films, to come away with a sensation of having observed true intimacy in an authentic world.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
Scene by scene, there's a leanness and economy to Audiard's filmmaking that gradually shifts, via dreamlike ellipses and temporal blurs, into a poetically heightened register.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
As a narrative of immigrant life, "Dheepan" moves swiftly, with intriguing twists and turns.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
A tough, uncompromising picture, with a climax that really goes to work on you.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Mr. Jesuthasan, watchful and diffident behind a scruffy beard and a drooping lock of hair, has the taciturn charisma of a Hollywood gunslinger. And the movie in which he finds himself is, in some ways, a western.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
For Audiard... rebirth is a mean and messy business. But it's also beautiful.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
Narratively, though, the film skates on the edge of incoherence.
