A young Kurdish refugee finds friendship from an unlikely source in Welcome, writer-director Philippe Lioret's dramatic chronicle of intersecting lives. The tale unfurls in Calais, a seaside community in the north of France where one can glimpse the white cliffs of Dover, England with the naked eye. Vincent Lindon stars as Simon, a local swimming instructor privately reeling in turmoil because he dreads an imminent divorce from his wife (Audrey Dana). Soon, his path unexpectedly criss-crosses with that of Bilal (Firat Ayverdi), a 17-year-old Kurdish refugee with two aspirations: swim the English Channel, and join his girlfriend in England following a lengthy separation. Despite their differing ages, the two men discover that they have a fair amount in common, and soon forge a tight bond marked by similar goals. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Some New Trailer For Welcome
New Review For Movie Welcome
Puts you so completely into the shoes of a young man facing almost insurmountable obstacles that you feel a profound empathy not only for him but also for all who are ready to risk everything for the dream of a better life.Stephen Holden-New York Times
[It] has its share of clichés and contrivances. Fortunately, compensation is provided by strong performances by veteran actor Vincent Lindon as the coach and newcomer Firat Ayverdi as the refugee.
V.A. Musetto-New York Post
Don't discount the pleasure of watching a weathered star breathe life into an otherwise banal film.
David Fear-Time Out New York
Starting strong with its atmospheric immersion in the herd of immigrants killing time by the docks, Welcome quickly shrugs off credibility by equating Bilal's quest with Simon's angst over his recent divorce.
Vadim Rizov-Village Voice
A one-note moral lesson devoid of dialogue with the very hot-button topics it feigns interest in.
Nick Schager-House Next Door
...the 'white man's perspective' on the Middle Eastern immigrant saga seen from the Afghan POV in Michael Winterbottom's "In This World..."
Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews
By keeping the focus firmly on the personal relationship between the two men Lioret lifts his story out of cliche and into a place where emotions flourish.
Amber Wilkinson-Eye for Film
Loiret's story is inherently affecting, made more so by veteran actor Vincent Lindon, who owns one of cinema's all-time great hangdog expressions.
Marcy Dermansky-About.com
An astonishing film about the struggle of a Kurdish immigrant to get from Calais to England and the assistance he obtains from a middle-aged Frenchman who empathizes with his dreams.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice
A Gallic counterpart to American indiedom's immigration melodrama The Visitor.
Bill Weber-Slant Magazine
The engrossing story and high quality of this film have the potential to draw good arthouse audiences.
Ed Scheid-Boxoffice Magazine
The irony of the title is only the beginning of Lioret's stirring, incisive look at the physical and emotional realities of illegal immigrants.
Alice Tynan-Concrete Playground
A timely reminder that one should love one's neighbour, even if one's neighbour has a foreign accent and a different culture.
David Stratton-The Australian
Writer-director Philippe Lioret has made a film about what happens to an ordinary man touched by a stranger in extraordinary circumstances.
Jason Di Rosso-MovieTime, ABC Radio National
A film that tosses audiences through an emotional wringer, creating an intense, challenging and surprisingly warm experience that questions the very concept of "welcome."
Colin Fraser-FILMINK (Australia)
A humane and touching story of a young Kurdish immigrant's attempts to reunite with his girlfriend.
Simon Weaving-Screenwize
The script is sensitive and sharp, dealing in the intractable grey of the moral dilemmas that arise through the globally replicated issue of displaced people and their treatment by host countries
Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile
As long as the focus is on the taciturn underdog Bilal, the film's involving and not sappy.
Kent Turner-Film-Forward.com
Such a melodramatic set-up is no way to win round viewers who aren't predisposed to sympathise with immigrants - or with gloomy middle-aged men.
Edward Porter-Times [UK]
A gripping French contribution to the cycle of movies about exile and refugees.
Philip French-Observer [UK]
