"The Immigrant" has many moments of exceptional power and rare delicacy, none more potent than the final shot, which achieves a haunting visual balance between the characters of Ewa and Bruno that cannot be achieved for them in their interactions with each other but can be achieved through the talent and skill of the man who is behind the camera guiding and shaping and watching them.

Appearing as an all-tooconvenient wedge between them is Phoenix' magician cousin Jeremy Renner who takes a shine to the shy newcomer. He has written for "New York Magazine," "Film Comment," "Sight and Sound," "Time Out New York," "The L Magazine," and many other publications. | Rating: 3/4 Rank Jeremy Renner’s 10 Best Movies December 14, 2018 Ewa is Bruno’s opposite: she is upright, steady and distant whereas he is always violent and unexpected in his reactions. It might be said that he is presenting the narrative from Ewa’s point of view because the steady rhythm of the shots and framing suggest a careful controlling of what we see and what we don’t see. a slow, simmering film with intense characters and a drama that demands patience and rewards with a rich drama about the American experience. A terrific, contained performance by Cotillard is the cherry in this classy period piece. | This film just came out of nowhere. As it is, Ewa often seems just a little too good to be true, a Madonna placed on a pedestal. Just a nice, small (in a good way) haunt in a great location with some tasty finger food too."

Gray has obviously watched films of the 1910s and early 1920s to feed the overall atmosphere of "The Immigrant," and this extends to the characterization of Ewa, who glows from the screen, vulnerable but rigidly un-giving, like the heroines of D.W. Griffith movies; she moves in the languid way that Blanche Sweet did when she played "Judith of Bethulia" for Griffith in 1914.

Thanks to some fantastic performances and sharp direction from James Gray, The Immigrant yields a powerful result. R (for sexual content, nudity and some language) Published.

Marion Cotillard wears a passively worried face throughout as the tiltular Polish Immigrant forced into selling her body to make money to secure the release of her sister at the Ellis Island infirmary. In search of a new start and the American dream, Ewa Cybulski (Marion Cotillard) and her sister Magda …
August 13, 2020 The working titles of the film were Low Life and The Nightingale, and I am really glad that the better name option was later discovered. September 12, 2014 I think this is really a beautiful film. "Wasn't that the saddest thing?" October 5, 2013. Get the freshest reviews, news, and more delivered right to your inbox! 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. No matter what bad things happen to Ewa, she always has her religion and her pride to get her through, but Bruno, it seems clear, has nothing. September 11, 2014 For instance, when the eccentric and love-struck Bruno gradually and remorsefully leads Ewa into prostituting herself for him, we see her misgivings and then her own gradual, martyred acceptance of her nearly hopeless situation in stages without ever having to see the degradation of the prostitution itself.

The Immigrant Reviews - Metacritic The Immigrant movie reviews & Metacritic score: 1921. RT Comic-Con Ketchup "It really was." "It really was." We want to hear what you have to say but need to verify your email. The film’s period recreation of New York in 1921 is meticulously drawn in rich, dark colors and chiaroscuro displays of light and shadow. Their conflict feels forced and phony, met with a particularly laughable conclusion. | |
