With innate optimism and the unwavering support of his community, Marcel stands up to officials doggedly pursuing the boy for deportation. A political fairy tale that exists somewhere between the reality of contemporary France and the classic cinema of Jean-Pierre Melville and Marcel Carné, Le Havre is a charming, deadpan delight. -- (C) Official Site

New Review For Movie Le Havre
We are so held by the film's impact that its ending, surprise or not, is like a bonus.
Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic Endearingly quirky, just this side of precious, but so warm and deftly executed that you go along with it.
Jon Frosch-The Atlantic "Le Havre" is a passing fancy of a film, but it passes quite nicely indeed.
Tom Long-Detroit News 'Tis the season, so the saying goes. And when it comes to Aki Kaurismäki, it holds true. The Finnish writer-director arrives bearing a gift wrapped in a contemporary immigration fable.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post If the bummers and ambiguity of some of this season's movies are getting you down - or, hey, just the bummers and ambiguities of life - make your way to Le Havre. You won't be sorry.
Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer The Finnish director's sense of humor is dry and dark as pitch, as he consistently finds moments of absurdity in the midst of strife and tragedy.
Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle Kaurismäki returns with another of his deadpan comedies, reminiscent of the great silent comedians, though this one is arguably one of his gentlest as well.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid Le Havre is presented as an oasis of happy inclusiveness within a regimented, uniformed, legislated and suspicious world at large; to spend time here is a pleasure.
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) Kaurismäki turns his affectionate, whimsical eye on the impoverished but generous folk of a run-down, waterfront community in the Normandy port of Le Havre.
Philip French-Observer [UK] The result is both charming and purposeful.
Derek Malcolm-This is London Written and directed by Finland's Aki Kaurismäki, this warmly engaging film is an understated pleasure about a surprisingly resourceful underdog.
Alex Zane-Sun Online The intricately woven tale of hide and seek is full of priceless, poker-faced comedy and heartrending tenderness.
Allan Hunter-Daily Express No other director could maintain this degree of optimism while telling such a superficially grim story.
Donald Clarke-Irish Times It's a satisfying and distinctively lovable film.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] A charming feel-good fantasy of 'Marxist' solidarity resurgent against the chill of post-9/11 modernity.
Anton Bitel-Film4 Kaurismäki clearly knows this is a fantasy, and it's a perfectly pleasant one at that.
Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph A gorgeous hymn to the struggles of the working man.
David Jenkins-Little White Lies I was on cloud nine throughout the film: that place of Technicolored rapture where Kaurismäki fans dwell, and where past, present and oneiric future are rolled celestially into one.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times Such a heart-warming tale in any other hands could so easily become schmaltzy (a Spielberg remake would be awful), but the deadpan delivery and endless idiosyncrasies counterbalance this tendency.
Paul Huckerby-Electric Sheep Kaurismäki fashions a droll, engaging fairytale, with echoes of Casablanca in its colourful, close-knit Normandaise resistance...
-Scotsman This is no doubt a message movie, but it delivers its message in an unforced, quirky way that leaves you feeling as though you've been pleasurably cajoled rather than harangued.
Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion A warm-hearted salute to both classical French cinema and working-class solidarity.
Tom Dawson-Total Film Le Havre could be described as the ever-quirky Aki Kaurismaki's 'wish list' film addressing today's tide of refugees who are usually faceless crowds or worse, corpses at the unintended end of their journey
Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile There's something extremely pure about this simple yet beautiful film in which ordinary people do extraordinary things
Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile It is rare and welcome to watch a movie that automatically assumes people will do the right thing at the slightest provocation.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI) New Movie Images Le Havre
