Review

good, but a bit overly done film about a professor who finds two people living in his seasonal nyc apartment. haaz sleiman, who plays tarek (one of the people living in richard jenkins’ apartment), is a bit too happy and pleasant to be believable. though it does add to the sad feeling we get when he is detained, i thought it unrealistic. his girlfriend, played by danai gurira, does a better job than he. richard jenkins does a very good job and has been getting a lot of oscar buzz, but i don’t know if the movie is popular enough. then again what’s her face won last year for la vie en rose so…
