Dheepan

UN FILM DE Jacques Audiard

A FILM BY Jacques Audiard

Audiard's latest is a touchstone of precision and craft. With an exceptional cast that draws you immediately into their circumstance, this wonderful collision between a visceral genre film and a well drawn family drama is truly something to behold.

- Scott Foundas, Variety

Un tour de force cinématographique.

- Odile Tremblay, Le Devoir

Un film très solide, magnifiquement réalisé.
