Anti-American Propaganda
PostedJuly 20, 2008

from West Village
"The Visitor" has its one surprise quite early in the film, and it's all downhill from there. Without giving away any important plot sequences, the protagonist is a lonely widower/professor in a New England college who becomes involved with illegal immigrants from the Middle East and Africa. The writers and director miss no opportunity to bad mouth the U.S. because of our immigration laws and portrays the illegals as blameless and victimized to a fault. They never explain why these people came here in the first place, but a favorite line of dialogue, repeated several times, is, "It's not your fault." The performances by the immigrants are believable as far as they go, but there is a persistent lack of background. I'd recommend a good drink at the nearest bar instead of spending $10 on this movie.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
