Refugiado

Very good acting. For those that criticise the plot, this is not an objective examination of all the problems of refugees or illegal immigration. It's a dramatic story, well told and very well interpreted. Good movie.

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

Title says it all. It is a well made film, not about politics, but about the emotional plight and trauma that asylum seekers can go through. The plot is good; the acting and direction are both spot on.

Immigration is a polarising topic which is clearly examplified by the reviews of this movie. The ignorance we see in some of the reviews here is exactly what this movie is trying to address. It doesn't matter on what side of this debate you are, it will be very hard for you to not feel empathy for the powerful performance of the lead actor Ivanno Jeremiah and his journey from Eritrea to the UK. You can understand the dilemma the immigration officer played by Lena Heady is facing, whether you believe refugees should be admitted in this country or not. Overall the performances and the writing of Helen Kingston make this a human and relatable exploration of the subject. It's this view into the lives of people who sit on the frontlines of the immigration and refugee crisis at desks in non-descript office rooms across the world that this movie conveys so well. This is an important topic to delve into especially given our current political climate so I hope that people watch this movie with an open mind and proceed to have constructive nuanced debates rather than falling back on common tropes.

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.
