Abdel's quiet life is upended by the arrival of his extraverted cousin, who's staying for the summer. Fatima craves a more stable life since she's starting a new job as a supermarket cashier. Toussaint, while fishing, finds a bottle washed up on the shore, and there's a message inside. Straddling the line between fiction and documentary, Gamma Rays is a dramedy filmed with young, non-professional actors from immigrant communities.

A character-driven film that’s as much about the nuances of human connection as it is about the immigrant experience.

3.5/5

Loosely structured, although maintaining an impressive balance between its stories.

Underlined by a documentary approach while Bernadet infuses inner-city realism with a poetical depiction of the city, leading to a contemplative mood. The plot is free-flowing, rather than meticulously crafted and calculated.
