"The Visitor" - must see. Powerful, poignent, inciteful, insightful.

Richard Jenkins won an Academy Award Best Actor nomination.

You will be enthralled by Hiam Abbass.

The story could anger you, but instead makes you sad. It relates people from different worlds. It is a film of quiet self discovery.

must of what we wanted to see wasn't available for streaming! I am sure some day we will switch back again.

I can't believe how many movies and series we've watched through the years....and how much of what is recent is just not that good!
