It dives into a very "hot potato" topic, but the good about this movie is that it doesn't get it self so seriously and doesn't really touch that topic so you can have pro-against the migrants. The performance by Amir El-masry was superb It is a hearfull movie, for specific audience, i will not recommend it in general. I like it, the ending was good and touchy.

I think the setup was very good: there are a bunch of refugees being housed on a remote island in Scotland while waiting to be accepted to England. Their story is told through very dark humor and both the actors and the script are very good. The story seemed to have lost a bit of steam as it went along but given the backdrop (a small cast living in a single location) I think that was going to happen, especially when despair is part of the backdrop. I thought the film succeeded in creating a sympathetic portrayal of the plight of the refugee. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies

Like a trusted stranger whispering "It's all going to be OK" just when you need it most, Limbo is a soft spoken comfort film you trust without knowing why. This simple story of a Syrian refugee waiting in a remote, Scottish halfway house for a decision on his request for asylum lives far beyond the borders of this simple frame. Thanks to its understated humor, strong cast and cinematography that often looks like masterpiece paintings, the film is able to rise above an individual's concerns to attain the universal. Limbo reminds us that somewhere, in some universe, we are all refugees waiting for acceptance in a ridiculous world.

[Göteborg FF] Almost turned into an Aki kaurismaki, the Scottish director manages to create a fun, moving and profound story about the refugee drama. That sarcastic look that places a group of refugees on some remote Scottish islands where nothing happens except the ups and downs of the weather, creates a story that is humorous but slowly turns to melancholy. The same one that the protagonist has, anchored in a physical limbo, but above all emotional.

There is something perfectly apposite about the title of this semi-comedic tale of four young Syrian refugees stuck on a remote, but curious and friendly, Scottish island whilst they await a decision on their asylum applications. Living in an unfurnished house they must reconcile their constant rest More

Limbo is a tragicomedy specifically addressing the hot topic in the good old angry UK, asylum seekers, refugees. Seen from the point of view of the four young men who are awaiting the results of their applications we are thrown into the quirky and dull life on the remote Scottish Island. The directo More
