Refugiado

Just watched this film and I feel it is a much better film than it's rating suggests. Desperate story of one mans desperate attempt to reach the UK at any cost and of a hard - keeping to the rule book immigration officer. Great performances by all starring. I give it 8/10. Watch it it's a good film

Unfortunately it seems peoples political views have hijacked the rating of this film.

Ivanno Jeremiah's performance is stunning with strong offerings from the rest of the cast.

The film is thought provoking and currently very relevant with the worlds human displacement crisis.

I'd highly recommend this movie to all!

This is a serious film, a sort of snapshot of the movement of a few people from hell along the migration path to the UK. It is slow. It is methodical. It is a beautiful picture. I stayed with it because I was interested in what Leana Hedey would be interested to work on after GOT. And this is it. At the end I see why she did it. Everyone here does a fine job and the story is a solid drama that evryone should care about. It is rather sad and tense, maybe that is why many give it a low star count. Or maybe there is some racist objections being recorded, though I hope not. It is at least a solid seven. Heady does a lot of acting inside a rather small part.

Unlike a lot of the US reviewers who insist on turning everything into a red vs blue, left vs right, baby vs baby political argument, I really couldn't care less if it's biased to a particular political view. It's a movie.

With that said I sat down to watch this full of high hopes. Precisely why, I have no idea. I thought Lena would be so much better. I thought the movie itself would be engaging and thought provoking. It isn't. It's a slow moving, boring, throwaway movie. The ending was telegraphed from the very first minute of film and the predictability of the piece takes away from the little "good" that the movie offers along the way. I expect to see this movie on the shelves of Poundland soon.

I personally wasn't moved or even entertained by the subject matter at all. Still. It's not a 1 star movie. But it's impossible for me to award more than 3. A bad effort :(.

Some say in this thread this movie is a propaganda!! Its a TRUE reflection of the reality of life in the 21st century!! Well crafted and acted movie.
