Dheepan

This movie about a refugee family seeking asylum in France is very thought-provoking and completely engrossing. It brings home the experience of what it must be like to be torn from a war-ravaged homeland into an almost equally frightening foreign land full of gang wars and often brutal violence. Which devil is better - the one you know or the one you don't? The acting is truly stellar in this film - it felt utterly genuine all the way through. The direction was beautifully done, and the script was excellent as well. I highly recommend this excellent film. 4/5
