Immigrant is reportedly based on writer-director Barry Shurchin's own family history, but the story he's chosen to tell is so melodramatic and relentlessly grim that any passion he feels for the material isn't reflected onscreen.
The storyline develops so erratically that it lacks any internal momentum, with some scenes unfolding in exhaustive detail and others seemingly missing, as if whole chunks had been shot and later edited out.
Scenes can drag; they at times pay homage to the filmmaker's memories rather than drive the narrative forward.
In the end, the filmmaker’s message is nearly lost in this poorly constructed film.
