Yearning to leave behind his life of misfortune in the Middle East, Ibrahim Jarrah wins the U.S Green Card Lottery for a chance to become an American citizen. Ibrahim lands in New York City the day before 9/11... and the events of the September terrorist attacks forever shape the struggles he faces on his journey to capture the American dream. Inspired by true events, filmmaker Sam Kadi's feature debut is a gripping tale of courage, love, and perseverance, the qualities of a true CITIZEN.
Leave your thoughts about The Citizen.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt's ridiculous, but Kadi seems determined to stay in this comfort zone, trusting in the banality of melodrama to communicate simple ideas on life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe Citizen is a heartfelt plea for charity, tolerance and all-around loving kindness — admirable aims sadly shackled to Sam Kadi’s inexpert direction. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe film’s chief asset is Nabaway, who delivers a subtly moving and restrained performance that transcends the contrived plot mechanics. It’s a heartfelt turn that befits this well-intentioned but ultimately reductive film. |
| McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreBy the time we reach the third act, which is where the trial we’ve been teased plays out (at great, boring length), The Citizen has exhausted its supply of immigration cliches and our patience. |
| The DissolveTasha RobinsonThere are no casual conversations in The Citizen, and no idle moments. It’s pushing its agenda at every moment, first gently, then relentlessly. |
| User ReviewEthan HIt's movies like this that make you love the art of film. You can't help but feel saddened at how racism and hatred can destroy people's lives but believing that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. |
| User ReviewVinicius AVery Nice Film :) >> USA From another vieW .. and how the low in democrtice country is brave and fair ..... goood time with this film |
| User ReviewHala AIt has a great story line. I can't wait to see it. |
| User ReviewfilmcrewThis movie is so inspiring and compelling. I had the chance to see it on Netflix where it averaged 4 stars based on 50,000 viewers and i gave it 4 stars myself. Examiner.com has listed the film among "Best Top 10 Films of 2013"... |
| User ReviewLujane AI liked the movie. However, there were some plot points that I thought were a bit unbelievable. But overall it was pretty good and interesting. |
