Netflix Fix -- The Visitor
What a little gem of a picture. Been reading some awards buzz surrounding this one, which came out earlier this year to little fanfare but oodles of acclaim, particularly for its lead, Richard Kenins, who really is fantastic here. Without beating its views and points over heads, it raises some compelling issues about immigration, and the American "dream," beneath a strong (I hate to use this word, seems so cliche, but it fits so fuck it) human story about discovering yourself through unlikely people. Wow, that sounded like a movie poster tagline. I gotta stop reading those, pronto. But its true, though.
