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 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

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. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Andrea G. Bermejo Cinemanía (Spain) 06/13/2023

Pablo S @RT56549554 01/26/2025 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 @RT41078239 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 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 @RT28340867 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 Read all reviews
