Movie Reviews

TV Guide - 10/10 by Ken FoxSicilian-born filmmaker Emanuele Crialese takes a huge leap forward from his pretty but simplistic "Respiro" with this highly original, startlingly beautiful and emotionally resonant film.
Wall Street Journal - 10/10 by Joe MorgensternAfter countless films in which immigration plays a central role -- one of the earliest was Charlie Chaplin's 1917 silent classic "The Immigrant" while one of the best, Jan Troell's "The Emigrants," has never migrated to DVD -- you'd think the canon was essentially complete. Yet this visionary work adds to it by combining harsh realities with magic-realist fantasies.
Boston Globe - 10/10 by Wesley MorrisIt's so hypnotically breathtaking, you don't realize you're not breathing. By the final shot, you don't realize you're crying either, but there go the tears.
Arizona Republic - 9/10 by Richard NilsenThe film never really coheres, and although some scenes are amazing, the total is slow, ponderous and sometimes silly.
PopMatters - 9/10 by Cynthia FuchsEmanuele Crialese's wondrous Nuovomondo (Golden Door) recalls America's erstwhile promise with a mix of exhilaration and delicacy, peppered with judicious insight.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 9/10 by Sean AxmakerThe familiar majesty of the Statue of Liberty and the New York skyline is replaced with anticipation and imagination. The sense of hope and wonder is the greater for it, and the sense of promise glows from the screen.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Ann HornadayWrit small, Golden Door is an absorbing and moving love story; writ large, it's the story we've never stopped telling ourselves.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 9/10 by Steven ReaThe Golden Door feels, at points, like a silent film - a silent film with CinemaScope vistas and dazzling, saturated color.
Christian Science Monitor - 9/10 by Peter RainerDraggy Italian epic that's big on production values but skimpy on inspiration.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Jean OppenheimerWith dialogue kept to a minimum, cinematographer Agnés Godard confirms her status as one of the most extraordinary visual artists working today.
