Beautiful visuals, James Gray's confident direction, and a powerful performance from Marion Cotillard combine to make The Immigrant a richly rewarding period drama.

The film, too, changes shape as it goes along, beginning as something resembling social realism before developing into an old-fashioned "woman's picture." Sep 12, 2014 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…

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. Jun 6, 2014 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Beautifully realized and polished, The Immigrant is a raw period piece that reminds us all about the cost for welcoming a freshly brand chapter in the pursuit of nourishing one's stagnant livelihood. Nov 7, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

When the movie ended, a woman approached; like me, she had seen it on her own and I think she felt compelled to debrief with someone. "Wasn't that the saddest thing?" she asked, shaking her head. "It was," I agreed. "It really was." Dec 3, 2017 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…
