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. Go to Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine 03/05/2024
Upon Entry stands as a masterful exercise in tension, and as a cinematic achievement that surpasses conventional expectations. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Eric Langberg Everything's Interesting 12/31/2023
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. Go to Full Review Carla Monfort Espinof 10/16/2023

Pablo S Jan 26 This pile of garbage of a movie revolves around a couple being questioned upon entry to the US. All the "action" takes place in a room for questioning and it's just them answering to outrageous questions from the airport police. The budget must have been $6 and a mortadela sandwich. See more Anne-Laure M 05/14/2024 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! See more Jamie C 03/22/2024 Superb. Great acting, editing and screenplay. I was gripped from start to finish. See more Charlene S @whitjake 03/02/2024 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? See more Don S 02/26/2024 if you have traveled a lot this movie will make you squirm. "so you're a dancer... can you show us something" See more Lakshman W 01/02/2024 Osa8a see 22ws zzz see see 23 saw a see act Ii SD See more Read all reviews
