The Visitor

When professor Walter Vale (Richard Jenkins) travels to New York for a lecture, he's stunned to find illegal immigrants Tarek (Haaz Sleiman) and Zainab (Danai Gurira) living in his apartment. It comes out that it was rented to them by a swindler, and Vale feels sufficiently sorry for them that he invites them to stay. They get on well until Tarek is accused of jumping a subway turnstile and lands in a detention center. He risks being deported, and Vale does everything he can to prevent it.

Heartbreaking and Powerful

This is "Lost in Translation" with political relevance. It has a hard edged realism seldom seen in mainstream American films. Highly watchable, surprisingly powerful, difficult at times but uplifting, this is a film for everyone who has an opinion on immigration and who wants to add dimension to their understanding of loss and it's impact on ordinary people. See it.
