Crossing Over

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Crossing Over is flagrant and heavy-handed about a situation that deserves more deliberate treatment, and joins its characters with coincidences that strain believability.

Simon Braund Empire Magazine Being over-stuffed and heavy-handed are not even Crossing Over's biggest problems. That dubious honour goes to an absolute failure to address its nominal subject-matter in any meaningful way. Rated: 2/5 Jul 31, 2009 Full Review David Jenkins Time Out Any one of these stories, if properly fleshed out and shorn of contrivance, would have made for a perfectly serviceable film. Instead, we have lots of hysterical little bits of nothing much. Rated: 1/5 Jul 31, 2009 Full Review Wendy Ide The Times (UK) For anyone who felt that Crash was too subtle and self-effacing, I recommend Crossing Over, a multi-stranded, heavy handed exploration of the issues surrounding immigration and US citizenship. Rated: 3/5 Jul 31, 2009 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review While the film has its flaws, certainly it deserved better than to debut on the shelves of Blockbuster. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins This will certainly struggle to find an audience. Rated: 3/10 Nov 28, 2020 Full Review Kelly Jane Torrance Washington Times These stories might seem too coincidental and even preposterous. It wouldn't have mattered had they been well-told. Rated: 2/4 Dec 10, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Andrew W How this movie is rated at 15% when I posted, is beyond me. It deserved at least AVERAGE. The acting was acceptable. The dialogue was suitable. The screenwriting was achievable. What's the problem?!? This is called a DRAMA movie. I don't think this generation of movie goers are used to a DRAMA movie Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/17/24 Full Review Julie D I disagree with the "critics". This movie is completely believable and also, excellent casting and acting. I found it to be moving and inspiring. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/24 Full Review Danee Y This movie, though released in 2008, captures so many critical issues facing people in this country and of those wanting to come and/or stay here. The reasons for and repercussions of 9/11, the desperate and sometimes frivolous reasons to immigrate, the tragic lives of too, too many people, and the extreme differences in cultures that have and continue to create this country are portrayed by an excellent cast. Watch it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/24 Full Review BJ M Some excellent performances by great actors addressing an important topic in a meaningful and revealing way. The critics can shove it. It was a great film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/23 Full Review Love though neighbor I loved the movie it was really an eye opener as Americans we really take our freedom for granted until injustices happens to our families. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/14/22 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorite movies. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/13/22 Full Review Read all reviews
