Dheepan is a Tamil freedom fighter, a Tiger. In Sri Lanka, the Civil War is reaching its end, and defeat is near. Dheepan decides to flee, taking with him two strangers - a woman and a little girl - hoping that they will make it easier for him to claim asylum in Europe. Arriving in Paris, the 'family' moves from one temporary home to another until Dheepan finds work as the caretaker of a run-down housing block in the suburbs. He works to build a new life and a real home for his 'wife' and his 'daughter', but the daily violence he confronts quickly reopens his war wounds, and Dheepan is forced to reconnect with his warrior's instincts to protect the people he hopes will become his true family.
Leave your thoughts about Dheepan.
| Film InquiryAlistair RyderDheepan 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. |
| Independent (UK)Kaleem AftabDheepan is a radical and astonishing film that turns conventional thinking about immigrants on its head, and takes a faceless immigrant coming from a war barely covered in the media and turns him into a Travis Bickle-type anti-hero. |
| Montreal GazetteT'Cha DunlevyDespite its violent dénouement, this is for the most part an understated, cinematically rich, shrewdly observational film. |
| New StatesmanRyan GilbeyAll the groundwork in the world, though, can't alter the fact that a film which began in the style of Ken Loach has turned into Death Wish 3. |
| Buffalo NewsChristopher SchobertThe acting and setting, as well as Audiard's mastery, make Dheepan essential viewing. |
| KDHX (St. Louis)Diane CarsonDheepan proves that war for some immigrants is not ever over. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertThe living, the dying and the dead populate this superb French thriller balancing gang violence, refugee plight and family drama. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayThere’s no doubt that Audiard has invested a story of grief, dispossession and desire with immediate, almost tactile, urgency. Like the best fiction, it takes the most incomprehensible stories of our time and makes them hauntingly, inescapably clear. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansWith gritty images and an economy of dialogue, the film tells a small story that stands for the thousands of refugees now trying to gain a footing in Europe. |
| Washington City PaperNoah GittellA great ending in search of a slightly better movie. |
