It's a work of community portraiture that slowly develops into collective drama
Over time, as the movie returns to specific spaces, touching on human rights and gentrification along the way, it develops into a deeply stirring ode to the immigrant experience and American identity.
It's hard to write about In Jackson Heights without sounding like you're trying to write poetry.
By simply contrasting short sequences that each tell a small story, Wiseman constructs a much larger mosaic.
Wiseman’s voracious curiosity and evenhanded approach to his subject ensures that viewers will have a wide range of responses to the material he has collected.
Wiseman’s very subject is the difference between neighborhood and community—between the happenstance of urban geography and the commitment of self-identification.
It’s an engaging portrait - film-making which works from the ground up.
