We have enjoyed films directed by Jacques Audiard before and this lived up to the reviews and his reputation. The story of a Tamil Tiger, Dheepan, washing up in a lawless estate in France with a ready made family was beautifully realised. The acting was superb and had a naturalistic feel.
Fabulous story, beautifully filmed and acted. Emotionally moving script that felt authentic. The move of refugees from the frying pan into the fire. Brilliant.
Harrowing in many respects, this is a well acted and emotional film, showing movingly other peoples lives.
