Review of America America (2012) by David S — 31 Aug 2010

Elia Kazan's story of his uncle's epic journey from Turkey to Ellis Island. The trail is frought with hardship and treachery and terrible lessons. It's an excellent film all around, from Haskell Wexler's superb cinematography to the pacing (although quite long, it flows along smoothly) to the performances.

I can't really think of any significant problems with it, except that it lacks a certain something to make it special. Still, a very fine piece of work, quite watchable and worthwhile.
