Crossing

Crossing takes all of us down paths that even the shrewdly observant Lia would be unable to predict, but that she’d be the first to appreciate. ​It's a heartbreaker in all the best ways.

Levan Akin’s second film brings depth and eloquence to a simple premise.

A movie about respect and dignity. I thought it was quite extraordinary.

Its dramatic conclusion still manages to forgo clichéd expectations and cater instead to the limitless possibilities that abound in an urban sprawl.

While it doesn’t break new ground visually, Crossing still registers as a perfectly agreeable watch.

A film that never gives in to adversity. [Full review in Spanish]

Not everyone who goes missing wants to be found, especially if they believe that those who might come looking for them never saw them in the first place.

The resulting moments of implicit acceptance are thus more profound than anything that could be spoken from a soap box because we’re watching simple, authentic interactions.

Akin gives voice to the frustrations of immigrants and homeless teeming and disappearing into the bustling city's streets. Yet the emotional payoff unexpectedly scores big, walloping viewers at the end...

A compassionate journey, masterfully directed by Levan Akin, of wandering souls in search of love, happiness, and repentance. [Full Review in Spanish]
