This is an amazing movie, released at a frightening time and made under remarkable circumstances.
Without an ounce of phony Hollywood uplift, Winterbottom's film cuts right to the heart.
If there is heartbreak in this movie, there is also a sense of energy that makes it almost exhilarating.
The film has a riveting central narrative, the performances are compelling and, most of all, we need to hear more immigration stories like this.
Excruciatingly vivid.
Always well-meaning, not always well-executed, In This World ends by suffocating us in its good intentions.
It's of an odd genre: a formally scripted (by Tony Grisoni) feature with a musical score that adheres totally to journalistic accuracy and willfully ignores formula, melodrama and uplift. It's a real down-lift.
