An inside view on what it's like as an immigrant waiting for a better life to happen, in another country, but not knowing if it every will. Putting everything on hope.

This is a pretty good movie that portraits, in a very radical and extreme way, the things you might experience as an immigrant. I liked the movie because it really shows you how hard can it be to leave everything you know behind and try to arrive to a new place, where you have to speak a new language, where you have to acclimate yourself to the weather and where the most difficult part is fitting into a new community while meeting their rules and their legal requirements. The characters are really placed in a "limbo state" while they wait for their paper work to clear before they can start their lives in a new place.

Very SLOW and hard to follow the plot as minimal info given about each character. Did not understand the phone booth in the field

What I disliked, understandable that as refugees they'd be played with accents or they're actual accents but there were times subtitles would've be good for understanding their struggles more, not as an insult but to understand their struggles, they were short chained by this handicap. Also, wish the supporting cast had more dialogue, understand the quietness sets the mood of isolation but there times where filling that void with banter or their past or thoughts would've given the audience a way to compare with Omar. Liked, Omar was center stage, we got to meet his older brother. That he emoted even without words, that he was conflicted with whether he made the right decision, we finally got to see that through his interaction with his Parents in Istanbul and Elder Brother. A movie to eventually add to my collection, FOR SURE.

Very poignant and funny movie about refugees waiting for their cases to be determined on a windswept-to-the-extreme Scottish island.

Loved this movie. It's kind of a hero's journey with the future wide open. We all have our paths to take. We think our lives are about us, but they are not. Our lives are about all of the people we touch along the path.

Very slow !!!! You feel like you are in limbo

This movie moves slowly but it is purposeful. The movie wants you to feel the pain of those immigrants isolated on a small, cold island in Scotland. When one of the characters complains of the environment another replies "...they put us here because they want us to go back". I enjoyed this movie.

Very bleak great acting but trailer made it look more humorous then it was

Horrible! They tried too hard to make it ‘artsy’ and it was like watching paint dry! We tried to give it over 40 minutes but it never got better and we walked out. We are also familiar with immigration so we thought it would be an interesting perspective - waiting in line at the DMV would be more interesting:/

It was like watching paint dry it was so slow and bad.

There’s a thought provoking film, and really drew the audience in emotionally to the characters.

My husband and I both fell asleep. It was way too slow and not interesting.

An important ongoing story, that needs to be told. As a world class traveler, I’m very sensitive to immigration, as I constantly see the suffering of the less fortunate… all American citizens should see this film to get a perspective of some of the world’s dispossessed, and their humanity. I was deeply moved.

Thought provoking. Took a little to get into it but it as good

Boring as boring can be

Cinematically beautiful, excellent acting, touching story.

More like 2 hours of hell. Pace of death. Good acting with what they were given.

Loved the character development. Soooo slow.
