The Visitor

A quiet, sober film that reminds me of "Starting Out in the Evening." A lonely professor finds a couple living in his apartment, and he gets involved in their lives. The new friends and experiences open his eyes and, as is clear from the powerful ending, he learns to live again. The plot intelligently takes on our country's immigration policy. I love the scene where one character says almost under her breath that the US policy reminds her of Syria.
