      Incredible. Best movie on 2024

      What can i say. This movie holds you the whole way through. The story of Souleymane is a familiar one but told with such heart and soul you are with him all the way. The reality for asylum seekers everywhere is an unrelenting one. Through his eyes we feel his despair and hope for the change he wants. The performances are flawless from everyone involved and the stress we feel for his journey is very real. What a writing and acting achievement. Much of the story is filmed in the 9th and i felt it gave a voice to the plight of the asylum seekers looking for work, hope for a life here and the respect they deserve. Incredible movie. I never give a 10/10 but I couldn't see a flaw.

      We live here

      A very sad and true story, that reconnects you with reallity. The type of reallity that is hard to admit is true. The reallity that happens everyday around us, but that is too unconfortable to aknowledge constantly.

      I recently have been feeling very numb towards societal challenges, and this film surelly served as a reawakening. There is no where to run. This is the world we live in and pretending it doesnt exist doesn't make it any better.

      Acompanied by superb acting, all characters make this film, to me, feel almost like a documentary.

      My favorite movie of the year, and that I feel woll acompanie me through a long time.

      Important, no frills, accurate depiction of an average day in the life of an asylum seeker

      This film is a punch in the gut and frankly it should be mandatory in schools.

      I rarely ever cry for movies, but felt like crying here although the flow and.the directorial angle is very matter-of-fact and realistic, not trying to unnaturally elicit emotions in the viewers.

      Outstanding performance by the lead actor and the movie does a really good job at showing the different aspects of community at play here - the positive interactions and mutual help.with other asylum seekers and the.ruthless exploitation from other immigrants who have managed to successfully.achieve a legal status in France.

      Very special film

      "Süleyman'in Hikayesi" is a captivating tale that delves into the life of Süleyman, a man whose journey is filled with trials, triumphs, and deep introspection. The narrative beautifully explores themes of resilience, love, and the search for meaning in a complex world. Süleyman's character is richly developed, making his emotional struggles and growth relatable to readers. The story is set against a vivid backdrop, which enhances the immersive experience. The author masterfully balances moments of joy and sorrow, creating a poignant and thought-provoking read that lingers in the mind long after the last page is turned. This tale is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for endurance and transformation.

      Thrilling and moving.

      Really really good movie. Both thrilling as a movie and super well documented on what subsaharan migrants are facing in France (and more generally in Europe) when trying to survive and get asylum.

      Very much recommended. Not a moment felt fake and this movies shines a light on these immigration questions that are at the heart of politics discourse these days is super interesting.

      Abou Sangare, the lead actor, is fascinating, despite having no acting history, it seems.

      I felt that one of the great strengths of the movies is how everybody's point of view feels relatable.

      I hope this becomes recommended viewing in schools.
