Critics consensus

“Aki Kaurismäki's deadpan wit hits a graceful note with Le Havre , a comedy/drama that's sweet, sad, and uplifting in equal measure.”

Here is the sunniest film I've seen by Aki Kaurismaki, and he reveals a lot of sunshine inside for a director whose world is usually filled with deadpan losers.

It's pure Kaurismäki, a graceful, deeply humanist work, and very tough despite its limpid beauty...

Le Havre is brought to life by its raw, hopeful humanity; it feels close and real despite its deliberate distance.

Few ingredients, a lot to say, and only with images. Camaraderie, humanity, cruelty, capitalism, men. All of that without giving mediocre messages. [Full review in Spanish]
