Exile (French: Exil) is a 2012 Canadian drama film, directed by Charles-Olivier Michaud.[1] The film stars Francis Cleophat as Samuel, a teenager in Haiti who is left alone after his father is kidnapped by government forces; learning that his mother whom he had long been told was dead is in fact still alive and merely ran off to the United States, he embarks on a quest to find her, and is helped by various "guardian angels" as he travels to Miami, New York City and Montreal in his search.[2]
Brendan Kelly of the Montreal Gazette reviewed the film favourably, writing that although the film's plot posed possible suspension of disbelief problems in the way Samuel is continually protected in his journey, the film was clearly meant to be seen as an allegory for Samuel's passage into manhood.[2]
