"Connection is everything"

The Visitor (2007)
Directed by Thomas McCarthy, rated PG-13, 104 minutes

The Visitor is an intelligent and unique film about a dejected college professor who travels to New York for a conference and finds a young foreign couple living in his apartment. Richard Jenkins, who got an Oscar nomination for his role, is perfect, as you go along with him as his life changes in an truly unexpected way. The story, though at times a little heavy-handed, is a beautiful one and makes a powerful message about relationships between people. The Visitor is a authentic and touching independent film that ends in a realistic but genuinely inspiring way. You'll like it if: You like movies about unlikely friendships, independent movies, Richard Jenkins, The Savages or Reign Over Me.
