...ein sehr sensibler Film mit aussergewöhnlichem Handlungswechsel. Schwarzer Humor konnte ich nur an ganz wenigen Stellen herauserkennen, dann aber umso schöner. Ein Film zum geniessen und sich in die Persönlichkeiten versetzen.

Werden viele Genres kombiniert, so kommt meist etwas Halbgares heraus, doch nicht in diesem Fall. Dirty Pretty Things ist Drama, Thriller, Romanze, Schwarze Komödie, Sozialkritik und Moralgeschichte in einem und funktioniert ausnahmslos auf jeder dieser Ebenen. Ein bewegendes Filmjuwel.

Englische Kömodie mit raben-schwarzem Humor. Audrey Tatou ist auch hier fantastisch. Der Film ist ein Genuss!!!!
