The Visitor
|
(PG-13)
Character actor Richard Jenkins (Six Feet Under) plays a man sleepwalking through life, devoid of passion or purpose. After a chance encounter with a foreign couple illegally staying at his New York apartment, his life begins to change for the better. This is wonderful screen storytelling at its best, reminding us of our similarities as human beings as well as showing our differences. As he did in his superb The Station Agent, director Tom McCarthy takes us into a world of an outsider who is inside all of us. Beautifully cast (especially Jenkins) and delivered.
