At its best, the movie has a supernal glow that you can practically warm your hands by.
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture

One of the two or three best movies of the year, In America is easily the most emotionally satisfying.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel

Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

Deeply moving and funny.
