The Vistor (2007)

Director: Thomas McCarthy (The Station Agent, this was his second film, but he is a fairly recognizable character actor)
Stars: Richard Jenkins (Flirting with Disaster, Cheaper by the Dozen)
Haaz Sleiman (nothing I've ever seen)
YesNoSoso: 1

An enjoyable movie about a widower (the amazing and amazingly underrated Jenkins) making a connection with two illegal immigrants who were unwittingly, illegally squatting in his NYC apartment. A simple movie about loneliness and the downfalls of immigration in post 9/11 America. Great performances lead to an emotional movie that's worth a watch, but to be honest, besides Jenkins, its really nothing special.
