a slow, simmering film with intense characters and a drama that demands patience and rewards with a rich drama about the American experience.June 06, 2014
Gray's movie is an almost flawlessly articulated example of the kind of thing we like to say they just don't make any more: serious, adult, character-driven and impassioned.June 05, 2014
At times, Khondji's golden portraiture can make the characters seem encased in amber. But there's a tremendous payoff for the patient.September 22, 2014
The physical look of the movie is a revelation of a lost past.May 29, 2014
An astonishingly beautiful, irresistibly grim movie ...March 31, 2015
The Immigrant's handsome Blu-Ray transfer should be welcomed with open arms, even if there's little meat on the bone here for fans of special features.January 04, 2015
For what it is - a golden-toned melodrama about an innocent being tarnished and then redeemed in the Big City - The Immigrant is a lovely piece of work.April 25, 2015
One of the wonders of the film is how Gray reveals unexpected depths and dimensions of these characters throughout their journeys.August 04, 2015
The Immigrant functions quite impressively as a character piece (or pieces, as the film is as much about Bruno as Ewa), a condemnation of the subjugation of foreigners and as a uniquely beautiful period piece.September 18, 2014
Unsurprisingly, Marion Cotillard is key as the recipient of the film's many misfortunes, displaying both tenacity and fragility to cultivate audience investment in Ewa's choices.June 11, 2014
The film is an achievement. Its complex reckoning of moral decency deserves a bigger audience.May 28, 2014
This is Gray's most mature work, and the picture raises Cotillard to a select pantheon.
