David Denby on James Gray’s new movie, “The Immigrant”: http://nyr.kr/1l4gLTe
“A dedicated artist like Gray runs the danger of becoming so fixed on a single obsessive relationship that he forgets that a movie requires at least a few more good ideas. That’s what happened, I think, with his conception of Bruno as a corrupt protector and Ewa as a superior victim—a woman who sleeps with men for money but remains spiritually immaculate.”
