Art movie alert - “The Visitor”
By Carl Hoover
| Wednesday, June 25, 2008, 05:55 PM
I almost overlooked this in running through the list of movies playing this weekend at Hollywood Jewel 16, but there, between WALL-E and You Don’t Mess With the Zohan was The Visitor, a small-scaled but acclaimed indie film about a college professor whose unexpected encounter with an immigrant couple squatting in his city apartment restores a humanity he had repressed after his wife’s death.
If you haven’t been impressed with summer movie fare yet (though WALL-E’s a sweet charmer and a remarkable accomplishment in animation), you might take in The Visitor. Given the typical half-life of indie films in a Waco summer, it won’t be there long.
