Another winning turn from Omar Sy is reason enough to enjoy this optimistic comedy/drama.

The editing errs on the side of longueurs, but likable people and the mise-en-scène draw you in. Somehow, even the artificiality feels heartwarming.

Unfortunately, the material flounders from the broadly farcical to the bombastically melodramatic.

Omar Sy is a star in the truest sense of the word.

Rating: 3/4 --
Gainsbourg and Sy play off each other wonderfully, emphasizing how these characters relate to each other as people; their scenes together feel emotionally honest even though one can barely imagine them happening in real life.

"Samba" tries to be too many things to too many people, although you can't say it doesn't have heart.

Rating: B+ --
Samba finds a much stronger rhythm when it stops contriving and simply shines a light on the joy and pain (and musical interludes) of lives lived in the margins.
