Critics Consensus

It handles its potentially prickly subject matter with kid gloves, but Intouchables gets by thanks to its strong cast and some remarkably sensitive direction.

David Stratton

At the Movies (Australia)

The problem is that if, while you're having a good time with these characters, you start to think about the wider implications of the film, you might find yourself somewhat less enthralled.

Rated: 3/5

Irish Times

It's not subtle. It's not innovative. But it guarantees good humour, pranks, japes and welling-up for two hours.

Rated: 4/5

Derek Malcolm

London Evening Standard

There is something so fatuous about the whole farrago that one will never again believe the old saw that the French are more cultured than the Brits and couldn't possibly be taken for this sort of gooey ride.

Rated: 2/5

Yasser Medina

Cinefilia

As a dramatic comedy, it boasts a chemistry between François Cluzet and Omar Sy, but unfortunately, it relies too often on clichés to build its corny story about friendship, disability and racial prejudice. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 5/10

It’s an example of smart and capable filmmaking that can make you laugh as well as tug at your heartstrings.

The French film is superior to the Hollywood remake although the problem of Orientalism is more prominent.

Rated: 3/5
