The Hollywood Reporter

What felt like a graceful simplicity in Fatima too often feels like oversimplification in Amin.

The film's main asset is Mbengue in the central role of Amin, an immigrant labourer in France with a wife and three children back home in Senegal.

World Socialist Web Site

A clear-eyed picture of the conditions of workers from poorer countries, many of whose people have to travel thousands of miles ... merely to eke out a subsistence existence.

The Digital Fix

While the various threads never quite coalesce, it is always intriguing to attempt to understand the fresh perspectives offered by Faucon.

Rated: 6/10

Battle Royale With Cheese

The film's theme is obvious: migrant life is tough and unfair, and the French government isn't helping much either. What's more tragic however, is Amin's uninspiring narrative.
