About this movie...

The Visitor introduces Professor Walter Vale (Richard Jenkins) who lives his lonely life almost automatically. He lectures in his home town of Connecticut, eats canteen meals alone and tries unsuccessfully at doing something 'for pleasure' like trying his hand at playing the piano. He lost his people skills after the death of his wife and is uncomfortable with small talk. But then something happens. Walter meets the life-loving Syrian illegal immigrant Tarek (Haaz Sleiman) after which nothing is ever the same again.
Now Walter finds a purpose as he helps Tarek in his plight at the detention centre. Tarek opened a door for Walter with his newfound passion of drumming, but he has introduced him to the two women in his life: his girlfriend Zainab (Danai Jekesai Gurira) and mother Mouna (Hiam Abbass). Written and Directed by: Thomas McCarthy.
Cast: Richard Jenkins, Haaz Sleiman, Danai Jekesai Gurira and Hiam Abbass.
