The Visitor Summary Array

Hailed As "one Of The Year's Most Intriguing Dramas" (claudia Puig, Usa Today), The Visitor Stars Richard Jenkins (six Feet Under) In A Perfect Performance (lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly) As Walter, A Disaffected College Professor Who Has Been Drifting Aimlessly Through His Life. When, In A Chance Encounter On A Trip Into New York, Walter Discovers A couple has Taken Up Residence In His Apartment In The City, He develops an Unexpected And Profound Connection To Them That Will Change His Life Forever. As Challenges arise for His tenants, Walter Finds Himself Compelled To Help His New Friends, And Rediscovers A Passion He Thought He Had Lost Long Ago. The Year's First Genuine Must-see Film" (ann Hornaday, The Washington Post) About Rediscovering Life's Rhythms In The Most Unexpected Places

A deeply moving drama built around longtime character actor Richard Jenkins, The Visitor is a simmering drama about a college professor and recent widower, Walter Vale (Jenkins), who discovers a pair of homeless, illegal aliens living in his New York apartment. After the mix-up is resolved, Vale invites the couple--a young, Syrian musician named Tarek (Haaz Sleiman) and his Senegalese girlfriend (Danai Gurira--to stay with him. An unlikely friendship develops between the retiring, quiet Vale and the vital Tarek, and the former begins to loosen up and respond to Tarek’s drumming lessons as if something in him waiting to be liberated has finally arrived. All goes well until Tarek is hauled in by immigration authorities and threatened with deportation. His mother, Mouna (Hiam Abbass), turns up and stays with Vale, sparking a renewed if subdued interest in courtship. But the wheels of injustice in immigration crush all manner of hopes in post-9/11 America. Vale soon realizes his unexpected capacity for anger over Tarek’s plight, and the positive changes to his personal life that emerged from a deep involvement with his friend and Mouna, might be the only legacy he takes from this experience. Writer-director Thomas McCarthy has created a wonderfully measured story about change and renewal, and put it all on the shoulders of Jenkins, a largely unheralded but masterful performer whose time for renown has surely come. --Tom Keogh
