I had hoped The Guardian would agree with me this time so was disappointed to read this review of The Visitor.

I had expected to love it, given that the same guy had directed The Station Agent which was a film both quirky and charming to my mind.

This one, however, was much more closely aligned with my own opinion so my faith in their judgement might be gradually restored.

The New York Times is even more favourable.

I can't seem to find any comment from the erudite Mr French. Shame.
