Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Starting strong with its atmospheric immersion in the herd of immigrants killing time by the docks, Welcome quickly shrugs off credibility by equating Bilal's quest with Simon's angst over his recent divorce.

Don't discount the pleasure of watching a weathered star breathe life into an otherwise banal film.
