What do viewers think?
Most viewers rated Welcome with 4 to 5 stars. Benoit80 finds the movie “So painful! Bravo! Lyndon is so believable in this feature film where he plays a vigilante.”
Shekiina, on the other hand, believes that “Welcome is one of those French films that you should see at least once in your life. Vincent Lyndon, as the film reveals, Firat Iverdi, they are skillful. The soundtrack is great, and the scene at the end is very moving. “
A beautiful friendship story?
El Bandito invites “A particularly dark and poignant work that flirts between human drama and social thriller. The feature film very skillfully evokes the complexities of immigration and highlights a brilliant story of friendship.”
According to Mathias Le Quiliec, welcome is a “A great film. Decent work by Vincent Lyndon: the role, the script, everything was there to make the actor look his best, helped by a good supporting cast.”
“The scenes and dialogues in the apartment and the police station are intelligent. Everything is done from the beginning so that we are dizzy and not looking at the time every 5 minutes.”
Lioret is not very inspired?
If most of the spectators were truly appreciative of the salute, there were still a few incoherent voices. “I found Philippe Lloretti more inspiring because the story isn’t really exciting, and it’s crafted in such a way that it’s even less so.”official hammer76.
“While the script is engaging, especially with Vincent Lyndon, we follow the story line without too many surprises, with less and less enthusiasm. The whole thing, as realistic as it is, lacks pacing.”Supported by vanou97.
for Schmiffmuff, “On an artistic level, the interpretation is excellent. But as far as I’m concerned, the strength of the film’s message and the political side do not allow me to see anything other than a long plea in favor of undocumented immigrants. And the opinion of the audience. Enjoyment of it all?asks this viewer.
too didactic?
“Of course we are worried, of course the film is useful! But the overly didactic, overly revealing side of his project sacrifices the viewer’s interest on the altar of his ideology”John Henry analyzes in turn.
If you want to make up your own mind, Welcome is available on DVD and VOD. You can also find Vincent Lyndon currently in theaters in Comme un fils.
