[A] humane and gravely funny new film....The deadpan style of the acting functions as a vaccine against sentimentality, but there is no doubting the sincerity of this movie’s motives or the effectiveness of its methods.
New York Times
This is a timely film addressing a critical global issue.

Square Eyes
The narrative trajectories of the refugee and the salesman intersect within minutes....In drawing the two men together, the film creates a simple, persuasive metaphor.

Rating: 4/5 --
One couldn't help but think of the obvious, heavy-handed messaging we'd be spared if all directors followed Kaurismäki's expert smuggling techniques.

San Diego Reader
[T]hough the director has become political, he has hardly abandoned his offbeat, slyly ridiculous style...
Los Angeles Times
With a very contrasted photography with the use of hard lights, the director delves us into a story without good or bad... transferring a very particular atmosphere to the film. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rating: 3/4 --
Despite its heavy subject matter, The Other Side of Hope is a gently comic tale of disparate souls united by a common humanity.
