Limonada

The rationalization of the immigration officer is the lowest ethics I could expect. The integrity of the main character is close to the utopian Asgardi Iranian director's characters. The script is terse but the directing makes much of the vacuum. The child is quite good too. It amazes me how naive people can be. Balkans and now Ukraine: I understand why they look for UK and usa But an EU citizen ( Romania) opting to immigrate in North America instead north EU is really beyond any reason imho. They already speak English ok, but how difficult is it for a Romanian to learn Italian?

The film is quite realistic and should be food for thought. Bias declared: feel right for my decision to not seek a green card myself, back then I could not leave USA for at least 1 year, probably they need proof you can forget your family. Sad policy for the 21st century.

This film's main goal is to generate emotions, but it tries to do that based on flat characters, poor and predictable action. The characters have no depth, they are unidimensional and complexity has nothing in common with this production.

Just as you get to know the characters and are rooting for some and waiting for justice for others.....it abruptly ends, credits start to roll. P.S. Montreal is a poor stand-in for any US city

I don't know why this film isn't been watched/reviewed by much. Brilliant depiction of characters. Not much time identifying things, so it takes you deep enough. Occasionally amateurish acting, But the dialogues are to the core. Very few scenes are dramatic. It made my heart heavy at the end. Life goes on fighting, till the end, for a few. I strongly recommend this film.

It is a simple story what usually happens with those who are going to USA, without green card, without any connection, without enough money and the picture what all of them are ready to do just to stay there.
