The Visitor.
What makes this film so enjoyable is its endearing qualities. For instance there is the issue that this is a sort of genre-less piece. Its a little dramatic, a little funny with a little romance thrown in at the end. Yet it isn't any one of those things to a point to declare it a genre.
There were some uneven point to it, the little odd love affair between the captor's mother and his friend put a slightly bad taste in my mouth. Still the rest of it was so sweetly satisfying I can excuse it. A tasteful political statement on a hot button issue. Yet it took a nice twist and chose to focus on the issue of illegal immigration in a way not typically seen in the media. Very very interesting. I'd love to see it again. Just writing about it is making me think all about it all over again....as any quality piece of film should.
Oh and the soundtrack. Wonderful music weaved through. sigh.
