"The Immigrant" is a Drama - Romance movie in which we watch a young woman arriving with her sister in New York on 1921. Her sister is kept in Ellis Island because her health was not good. She has to do everything she can in order to get some money in order for her to get her sister back from Ellis Island.
I liked this movie because it presents the truth behind Ellis Island and how some people who were working there did whatever they want as long as they were receiving more money. It also presents the ugly truth behind many women who were arriving in America for a better future but instead of that they were living on a nightmare because some people were taking advantage of them. The interpretation of Marion Cotillard who played as Ewa Cybulska was simply amazing and I believe that her interpretation was one of her best. Some other interpretations that have to be mentioned were Joaquin Phoenix's who played as Bruno Weiss and Jeremy Renner's who played as Orlando the Magician / Emil. Finally, I believe that "The Immigrant" is a great movie which everybody should watch because it presents many truths about Ellis Island and of that specific time which was very difficult for many people.
