At it's core, Wilkommen bei den Hartmanns is a sympathetic, though imperfect, look at refugees and the issues they face. Unfortunately, the focus of this sympathy, Diallo, is somewhat surface-level, given that Diallo is not a fully, fleshed out character. Instead, his character feels like a representation of common stereotypes about refugees and immigrants. Despite its flaws, the film does take an intelligent approach to issues, such as racism and the refugee crisis in Germany.
