La historia de Souleymane

A well rounded film where we get to witness an Asylum Seeker's life in a France for 3 days. Film does a great job portraying emotions and moral dilemma of the lead character who toils all day to just to pass his interview and get an asylum. We witness personal struggles of the character that brought him to France while preparing for his upcoming interview where he often receives contradicting advice on how to 'crack' the interview. The film can feel slightly cramped due to the range of struggles we get to witness that the lead character undergoes just within the period of 3 days coupled with the moral contradiction. I don't particularly have a criticism but probably wouldn't be my first pick for the Cannes Jury Prize but nevertheless a great watch.

What a sad way to see my natal city!

Only kidding, I enjoyed every moment of this 'story' but my enjoyment was only about this battler who brought tears in many viewers eyes.

I did not mind to see the hardship one goes trough to try to make a decent living.

Although I do understand the fine balance governments have to juggle with to be human but not invaded. I wish no one would have to go through such difficulties. But one can't dismiss reality It is interesting to learn that many actors weren't proffessionals and so could give authenticity to such a story.

I realise after watching this film we all go home and face many other situations and soon may forget about all the Souleymen. Then some may not...

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.

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.
