Noble but disappointing.

A brilliantly directed epic of displacement, bristling with empathy and rage.

Les Indésirables is a series of riveting setpieces that are strung together with a mess of exposed wires, and much like “Les Misérables” before it, Les Indésirables can be easy to forgive for its contrivances because Ly’s anger is so palpable.

a film like Les Indésirables is not only timely to the current political climate in France, but also incredibly needed. Even more broadly, Ladj Ly’s film is not only a portrayal of modern-day France but of the entire world at large
