I just finished this movie and wanted to leave a review, while the credits are still rolling.
I'm one of the harsher critics on IMDb, but I enjoyed The Immigrant. This is a dark film about Prohibition-era New York, and the trials of Eastern European immigrants who have come here in the hopes of a better life.
Like most good films, good and evil are blurred. We aren't asked to judge the characters, but rather to observe them as they are.
The plot is solid and the performances are impressive, particularly Marion Cotillard and Juaquin Phoenix.
