It's more like a feeling you get used to before finally accepting."   Filmcritic.com   Bill Gibron B "A polite, gentle drama about friendship and musical expression, "Visitor" dances slowly, but effectively, working its way to the heart."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf "The movie is grounded in a fundamental difficulty, that Walter's education is achieved by his engagement with this set of brown and black people."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 3/4 "...rife with compelling figures that ultimately sustain the viewer's interest even through a few less-than-subtle moments."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "The Visitor's allusions to our f----up state-of-affairs feel like gratuitous background noise."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B+ "A lovely, quietly touching film that approaches a provocative and topical subject with dramatic sensitivity and graceful understatement."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 5/5 "Depicts the way a professor's closed-off heart is opened by music, friendship, and love; one of the most touching and impressive films of the year."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "This is a simple story of human drama that provides an incentive to spend a couple of hours in a movie theater during a spring that has not provided many such reasons."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli "The performances are very strong and the film is very well-written."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick A- "Character actor Richard Jenkins gives a performance that is at once restrained and speaks volumes, a breakthrough to leading man status after decades of supporting roles."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3.5/5 "Focused entirely on these people and how the unplanned relationships affect their lives."   UR Chicago Magazine   Mark Dujsik 4/5 "Much more interested in its interpersonal relationships than it is in climbing a soapbox and preaching to the choir."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg "This is a small picture that explodes the boundaries of what size really means. Sometimes it's the smallest gesture that makes you feel most alive."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 9/10 "Sophisticated, timely and compelling, it's a quintessential post-9/11 drama."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger 9/10 "The film works foremost as the experience of watching Richard Jenkins inhabit his role."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 88% Fresh Page   1
