The film is an observation of the migrant experience; from crossing the Mediterranean Sea out of Libya to settling in Paris-based squats. In a view free from prejudice, we quickly see how the experiences of migrants vary in extremes during the different stages in their journey to a better life.

The lack of story, structure, or any clear editorial principle is a serious impediment to empathy for these poor, struggling people; the 159-minute runtime feels like four years. Go to Full Review Murtada Elfadl Variety Dec 12
A reminder that behind every headline are many human beings, carrying their hopes and fears on their sleeves and trying to reclaim their dignity. Go to Full Review Peter Martin ScreenAnarchy Dec 11
Without rushing things, Europe's New Faces envelops the viewer in a sobering reality that is not always pleasant to contemplate. It becomes a grueling experience, yet also one that allows room to consider the plight of vast numbers of people. Go to Full Review Dhruv Goyal In Review Online Dec 11
[The film's style] comes across as respectful rather than a purely academic exercise... There’s a humility and humanity in that gesture that makes Europe’s New Faces an incredibly valuable film. Go to Full Review Gregory Nussen Screen Rant Dec 10
9/10
Abbas' approach to the material sometimes risks being indulgent... but the choice creates a powerful POV whereby we are both teller and receptor of these people's lives. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Dec 8
