France vs. France - and the winner is ? Perhaps an Ode to the pure, French socialist spirit? Ultimately, “Le Havre” strikes me as a fable - a nice bedtime story in which ordinary people eschew world weary cynicism as if compelled to do the “right” thing because it is the simply the good and natural thing to do. When help is needed, it is given. Sympathy and kindness rise up. And if the ending seems unreasonably “happy”, well, isn’t that how a bedtime story is supposed to end?
