The film is an achievement. Its complex reckoning of moral decency deserves a bigger audience.

Grantland
a slow, simmering film with intense characters and a drama that demands patience and rewards with a rich drama about the American experience.

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.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
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.

The physical look of the movie is a revelation of a lost past.

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

A rich tapestried portrait of 1920's New York through the eye of a young Polish immigrant.

Behind The Lens
Product Description:
A Polish woman separated from her sister on Ellis Island struggles to survive on the streets of Manhattan in this period drama from writer/director James Gray (WE OWN THE NIGHT, TWO LOVERS). The year is 1921. Polish sisters Ewa (Marion Cotillard) and Magda Cybulski (Angela Sarafyan) are seeking a brighter future when they board a boat bound for New York City. Upon arriving on Ellis Island, however, Magda is placed in quarantine after receiving a grim and unexpected medical diagnosis. A stranger in a strange land, Ewa falls under the spell of the malevolent Bruno (Joaquin Phoenix), who forces her into prostitution. Yet a ray of hope soon comes in the form of Bruno's cousin Orlando (Jeremy Renner), a suave magician whose romantic interests in Ewa may be her ticket to a life worth living.
