The Visitor (2008)
  • Caption: The Visitor (2008)
  • Description: A film “The Visitor” by Thomas McCarthy. Where i can watch The Visitor film? yes you can watch it over here. Thomas McCarthy’s 2nd film after the wonderful “Station Agent” is equally good, if not better. Walter Vale (Jenkins) is a widower who teaches economics at a Connecticut university. No longer motivated by his work, he lives alone, struggling to find passion and meaning in his life. Walter is impeccably dressed, polite to everyone, but reserved and distant. Walter, as he admits later, is just “pretending.” He’s dried up; has ceased to be fully alive. The star of this movie is an actor (Richard Jenkins) whom you’ll recognize from his numerous roles as minor-characters, most notably the dead-patriarch in “Six Feet Under.” All of the other actors are completely unknown, but notably talented. It would be easy to pigeon-hole this film as a topical drama dealing with an uncaring government system. There are many immigration stories, often lengthy, intricate, and epic. This one has the simplicity and occasional sketchiness of a short story. There is admirable restraint in that. In the end, Thomas McCarthy succeeds in bringing capturing the humor, tragedy, and change of the human experience in his new film
