I Come From Away: An Immigrant in Maine has this quiet power that really pulls you in. Directed by Charlie Stuart, the film dives deep into the immigrant experience in Portland, told through the eyes of two individuals, Nyamuon and David. Their stories are woven together, contrasting the past and present in a way that feels both personal and universal. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to sit with their emotions, and it does an excellent job showcasing the challenges and resilience of its subjects. The practical effects are notably minimal, yet that's where its strength lies – it’s about the stories, the people. There’s a raw honesty in the performances that make you reflect on what it means to find home.
