I finally got a chance to watch The Visitor this weekend. It's clear to see why Richard Jenkins received an Oscar nomination for his performance. Jenkins plays a widowed Connecticut college professor with a completely empty life who goes to NY for a conference and finds a pair of illegal aliens living in his apartment. As he befriends the young couple he discovers a passion for playing the African drum and begins to find some meaning in his life. If you haven't seen this yet, add it to your movie rental queue.
