Leslie Felperin Guardian The film works best on the more local and micro level, celebrating the camaraderie of the gang, the constant stream of bilingual backchat and ribbing, and all the swagger that makes movie gangsters so dangerously seductive. Rated: 3/5 Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International Viewers will be able to anticipate where Little Jaffna is going, but the specificity of this tale of cops and gangsters gives the film resonance.

G B. Awesome movie: entertaining thriller and action, splendid colors and costumes, great music, vibrant characters, touching on the human experience of belonging to two cultures, set in the middle of Paris in a Tamil community, with the brutal civil war in Sri Lanka in the backdrop. A must see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/12/25 Full Review Read all reviews
