Reviews for this film from our members:
- Chris Barsanti @ Film Racket
- Excerpt: …relentlessly, intoxicatingly melodramatic
- Samuel Castro @ Ochoymedio.info [Spanish]
- Excerpt: James Gray vuelve a su tema, la vida de los inmigrantes, haciéndole un homenaje a un cine que ya no se ve.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: The film’s last shot is full of irony, a naturally composed split screen of hope and despair. “The Immigrant” is like an antique photograph come to life with ghosts of the past.
- Carlos del Río @ El rincón de Carlos del Río [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Tan preciosa como aburrida.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: The story is pure melodrama, but director James Gray approaches the material in such a subdued way that we might be fooled otherwise.
- Marilyn Ferdinand @ Ferdy on Films
- Excerpt: “Is it a sin to want to survive when I have done so many bad things?” This remark is at the heart of what this film seems to want to say.
- Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
- Excerpt: In ‘The Immigrant,’ the American dream becomes a nightmare for a young Polish immigrant who is tricked by a fiendish man and forced into prostitution.
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: Slow-paced and sinister, it’s a strangely unpredictable period piece that penetrates the soft underbelly illusion of the American experience.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Marion Cotillard portrays such sincere yearning. If she is the heart of The Immigrant then Joaquin Phoenix is the soul.
- Pat Mullen @ Cinemablographer
- Excerpt: Marion Cotillard gives the standout performance of the year so far. ‘The Immigrant’ is the work of a master.
- Frank Ochieng @ Sound on Sight
- Excerpt: Beautifully realized and polished, The Immigrant is a raw period piece that reminds us all about the cost for welcoming a freshly brand chapter in the pursuit of nourishing one’s stagnant livelihood and trading it in for that big gamble–or ultimate payoff–that is known as the believed American dream.
