Watch Let My People Go! Movie Online No Survey A sweet and hilarious fusion of gay romantic comedy, Jewish family drama and French bedroom farce, Mikael Buch's Let My People Go! follows the travails and daydreams of the lovelorn Reuben (Nicolas Maury), a French-Jewish gay mailman living in fairytale Finland (where he got his MA in "Comparative Sauna Cultures") with his gorgeous Nordic boyfriend. But just before Passover, a series of mishaps and a lovers' quarrel exile the heartbroken Reuben back to Paris and his zany family-including Almodovar goddess Carmen Maura as his ditzy mom, and Truffaut regular Jean-François Stévenin as his lothario father. Scripted by director Mikael Buch and renowned arthouse auteur Christophe Honoré (Love Songs), Let My People Go! both celebrates and upends Jewish and gay stereotypes with wit, gusto and style to spare. -- (C) Zeitgeist Release Date Let My People Go!

Review For Let My People Go! |
The road to the inevitable slapsticky Seder is paved with more sweetness than bite, a good deal of frantic foolishness and progressively thinner laughs, all wrapped in a message of acceptance and inclusiveness. Sheri Linden-Los Angeles Times
Among gay Jewish French postman movies, "Let My People Go!" may be a Hall of Fame entry, but alas, by any other standard this would-be sex comedy is a dismal failure. Kyle Smith-New York Post
Reuben is a whiny and uncoordinated prodigal son. His constant chafing at himself and the world is the film's biggest problem; by the midway point we're all wishing him back in Finland where he belongs. Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times
The result is late Woody Allen, when early might have done the trick. Ella Taylor-NPR
Though under 90 minutes, the whole frantically zany affair seems to last at least eight days. It might help to have a bottle of Manischewitz handy. Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News
Stylized and sweet comedy plays Jewish culture and gay nightlife against each other in a world where nobody gets offended. John DeFore-Hollywood Reporter
May well be the world's first French-Jewish-Finnish-Gay movie. Enjoyably campy. Fr. Chris Carpenter-Movie Dearest
It will amuse and delight you because it never takes itself too seriously. Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru
Ceaselessly upbeat and just short of zany, Let My People Go! will bring smiles of recognition to anyone who hasn't seen early Woody Allen in a while ... Joshua Rothkopf-Time Out New York
Without a consistent stylistic playfulness to match the histrionic scenarios, the action often feels just plain silly. Diego Costa-Slant Magazine
