Nick Allen RogerEbert.com The thrills from this movie are plentiful and poignant, made possible by confident direction that well knows the insidious potential of the systems in control. Mar 17, 2023 Full Review James Wegg JWR “The decision is up to me” Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 28, 2024 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine Upon Entry stands as a masterful exercise in tension, and as a cinematic achievement that surpasses conventional expectations. [Full review in Spanish] Mar 5, 2024 Full Review Eric Langberg Everything's Interesting Upon Entry deftly lays out all of the reasons why one might want to emigrate — for safety, for love, for opportunity — and then subjects them to the grueling, dehumanizing suspicion of bureaucracy. At times, it’s almost unbearable. Dec 31, 2023 Full Review Carla Monfort Espinof Upon Entry is one of the Spanish gems of 2023: a thriller that works like clockwork... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 16, 2023 Full Review Jordi Batlle Caminal Fotogramas Upon Entry has everything a movie should have: a story that hooks you from the first minute and doesn't let go until the final shot, as searing as it is powerful.

Anne-Laure M Nice cinematic surprise. Although the film is quite short (1h17), we feel their dreadful waiting, their fear and the intensity of the situation, accurately depicted both in the acting and in the directing. I found the actors very convincing, the story rather well written and several interesting directing attempts. And having personally experienced these stressful second interviews on arrival in the United States, I confirm that it is very realistic. Deserves to be watched! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/14/24 Full Review Jamie C Superb. Great acting, editing and screenplay. I was gripped from start to finish. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/24 Full Review Charlene S The acting is superb. It's ironic and disturbing to know Immigrants that are attempting to move here legally are put through this interrogation. What about the 8 million illegals that have come over the border already? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/02/24 Full Review Don S if you have traveled a lot this movie will make you squirm. "so you're a dancer... can you show us something" Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Lakshman W Osa8a see 22ws zzz see see 23 saw a see act Ii SD Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review Read all reviews
