The Visitor (limited release)

This was one of those films that had a lot of trailers and then got a limited release. Why tease the market and then never deliver it outside of NY/LA? Either way got my hands on the dvd and it's one of the best films of the year so far.

Much like the other films I've reviewed it seems like if it didn't leave the limited release bracket then it was probably good. It's a shame too because this was a very well done film. The acting is tight and while the plot is simple, it really works.

Everyone is likable and the pacing of the film is smooth. yeah, it doesn't have a lot of substance but it still has a decent story to tell. I'd highly recommend this one.

entertainment value - 4/5

movie - 4.5 / 5
