Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Welcome (out Apr 1) is a moving French drama about an Iraqi teenager trying to get to London to be with his girlfriend. He has made his way to the French coast and intends on swimming the English Channel to avoid detection by the authorities. The film makes some powerful (allbeit not very subtle) observations about immigration laws. Worth seeing.  Grade: A-.
