Limbo (12A)
Ben Sharrock | UK | 2020 | 104’
Ben Sharrocks' Limbo is a deadpan delight bursting with humanity and an offbeat observation of the refugee experience. Set in a remote part of Scotland, it resembles the old Ealing Comedies, like Whisky Galore!, but with incredibly dark social realism running through it.
A group of new arrivals await the results of their asylum claims. Among them is Omar, a young Syrian musician burdened by the weight of his grandfather’s oud, which he has carried all the way from his homeland.
Illuminating the hopes and hardships of the refugee experience, this wry, poignant, and bracingly funny ode to the kindness of strangers is possibly one of the finest representations of the deliberately uncomfortable and often hostile refugee experience in the UK and much of the world.
