Audiences willing to wade knee deep in the muck and mire of the human abyss are advised to seek out Humanité at the local arthouse. - 90
The New York Times

San Francisco Examiner
Staggering, gorgeously ambiguous. - 75
Entertainment Weekly
It ought to be seen, because it's a work of moral and spiritual mystery. - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
Humanite isn't like any other film: It's uncompromising, eerily affecting and wildly unresolved. - 63
