Leave your thoughts about Samba.
| The PlaylistNikola GrozdanovicIt’s a love story set in a contemporary world brimming with immigration issues, but it manages to be neither political drama, nor bubbly romance, somehow getting away with being labeled as a comedy. |
| Rip It UpDavid 'Mad Dog' Bradley[Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano] return with one of [The Untouchables'] stars, Omar Sy, in the title role. It's a darker, sadder and less audience-pleasingly contrived tale than their previous effort. |
| Jerusalem PostHannah BrownSamba is still an entertaining and enjoyable movie, due in large part to the charm of its leads, Omar Sy and Charlotte Gainsbourg. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleGainsbourg is always going through a little more than she cares to tell the audience about, but the connection her character makes with Samba — real, complicated and not typical — is one of the movie’s highlights. |
| Chicago Daily HeraldDann Gire[A] sincere and well-acted romance-tinged immigration drama. |
| Film Journal InternationalShirley SealyThe film does a splendid job of seriously revealing the kind of injustices done to undocumented "aliens." |
| Hollywood & FineMarshall FineSatisfying in a way that too few American films remember how to be...a movie that stays with you, something not many films manage to do any more. |
| Contactmusic.comRich ClineSome very big themes are given space to breathe in this remarkably naturalistic drama, which is livened up by terrific central performances... |
| The ListNikki BaughanDespite their differences, this melting pot of people is so intriguing, so fundamentally likeable, that the requisite happy ending, although somewhat forced, is entirely welcome. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsGainsbourg and Sy play off each other wonderfully, emphasizing how these characters relate to each other as people; their scenes together feel emotionally honest even though one can barely imagine them happening in real life. |
