Toronto. The Visitor.

"Richard Jenkins shines in Tom McCarthy's story of a solitary Connecticut college professor drawn into an immigration drama facing a trio of undocumented Americans in New York City," writes indieWIRE's Eugene Hernandez.

"Political without being preachy, tender, without being sentimental, The Visitor exposes the frustration of the average liberal American to do anything to stop their country from destroying itself and its ideals," writes Anthony Kaufman.

"With a seamless and unobtrusive style that underlines dramatic high points merely with a change in camera set-up or a cut at an unexpected moment, McCarthy wraps important social issues in an engaging and moving character-driven narrative," writes Howard Feinstein for Filmmaker.
