Le Havre Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Here is the sunniest film I've seen by Aki Kaurismaki, and he reveals a lot of sunshine inside for a director whose world is usually filled with deadpan losers.
Film Comment Magazine
Amy Taubin
It's pure Kaurismäki, a graceful, deeply humanist work, and very tough despite its limpid beauty...
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
We are so held by the film's impact that its ending, surprise or not, is like a bonus.
The Atlantic
Jon Frosch
Endearingly quirky, just this side of precious, but so warm and deftly executed that you go along with it.
Detroit News
Tom Long
"Le Havre" is a passing fancy of a film, but it passes quite nicely indeed.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
'Tis the season, so the saying goes. And when it comes to Aki Kaurismki, it holds true. The Finnish writer-director arrives bearing a gift wrapped in a contemporary immigration fable.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
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.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
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.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
You almost become a citizen of Le Havre, watching this film and rejoicing at the end as two newfound, unexpected friends share a drink.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Kaurismki wrote the script, I think, with secret credit from Mother Goose and some fabric softener.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
"Le Havre" is a small bit of movie magic, a story that plays more as a fable even as it deals with something as topical as immigration.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Le Havre is not the filmmaker's best work (see La Vie de Bohme for that), but no matter the storm, we should be grateful to dock in this port.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
The film is especially comforting if you love old movies, as Kaurismaki does.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Does Kaurismaki believe in his own fairy tale? The movie, a humble delight, suggests the answer is yes.
Film.com
William Goss
A slog of old-fashioned ideals and utter non-whimsy.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
If the story outline seems simple, it is; this movie is all about attitude and style. The shabby-genteel hero, who has a keen sense of irony, and the people who help him...
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
If the name Aki Kaurismki doesn't mean anything to you, it should, and "Le Havre" may be the film to make it happen.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
"Le Havre'' is warm-hearted and uplifting, without being schmaltzy or preachy. And, with its illegal-alien theme, it's dead-on timely.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
No one looks at the world quite like Kaurismki, and his deadpan sentimentality is worth discovery. This is a good place to start.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
A contemporary fable set in a place constructed from blocks of French cinematic history, Le Havre is one of Aki Kaurismaki's warmest, most engaging films.
