Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Like the best fiction, it takes the most incomprehensible stories of our time and makes them hauntingly, inescapably clear.

Washington Post
Rating: 3.5/5 --
For three-quarters of its running time, "Dheepan" feels like something special.

Arizona Republic
It’s bulging with giant confidence and packed with outbursts of that mysterious epiphanic grandeur, like moments of sunlight breaking through cloud-cover, with which Audiard endows apparently normal sequences and everyday details.
The Guardian
DHEEPAN has more than headlines on its mind. Its title character is in determined flight from political commitment and the violence that accompanies it, and the film is sympathetic to his aspirations.
New York Times
The viewer is so deeply invested in these characters and in their successful transition into life in France that the dynamite conclusion is heightened to a fever pitch.

Rating: 3/5 --
The balance between social commentary and genre (there are some unbelievably gripping and suspenseful sequences) is well managed by Audiard at first.

A film that shocks and whose visual language is so vivid, the images linger long after the credits have rolled.

Product Description:
Sri Lankan soldier Dheepan (Antonythasan Jesuthasan) flees his war-torn home country by posing as a member of a fake family with a female refugee (Kalieaswari Srinivasan) and a young girl (Claudine Vinasithamby), which allows all three of them to seek asylum in a Parisian housing project. Although he has escaped from the conflict in Sir Lanka, Dheepan is haunted by his violent past and soon becomes entangled in the criminal activity at a low-rent apartment complex. Jacques Audiard directed this crime drama, which was awarded the Palme d'Or at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.
