100In America is not unsentimental about its new arrivals (the movie has a warm heart and frankly wants to move us), but it is perceptive about the countless ways in which it is hard to be poor and a stranger in a new land.
-
80It is kept watchable and empathetic by the energy of the superb performances and the sense of complete freshness.
-
80Layered with elements that are both amusing and touching but never threatening to collapse into a big heap of sentimental mush.
-
60The film is marvelously acted -- the Bolger sisters are a delight -- and Sheridan captures New York City's crazy energy as only an newcomer can.
