Le Havre Ratings & Reviews

  • Antonio Ca' ZorziJuly 1, 2025
    A pleasant surprise. I wasn’t familiar with Aki Kaurismäki before watching this, and his storytelling approach is quite unique. The actors avoid overplaying the drama, yet they maintain a certain distance from both reality and their own characters. It’s a simple, understated story about human solidarity and dignity in a world marked by hardship and desperation.
