Review by Peter Belsito
In The Citizen, an immigrant picks a bad time to fall in love.
A very timely, relevant film exploring Europe’s, and the world’s, current crisis with immigration. The drama takes place at ground level, through the eyes and lives of the characters as they struggle to figure out what the system requires of them in order to stay where they are, and here it’s modern Hungary, in order to have peaceful lives.
Cake-Baly Marcelo as Wilson Ugabe
Love happens at a bad time for Wilson Ugabe (Cake-Baly Marcelo), the protagonist of this Hungarian film. A middle-aged immigrant from Nigeria, Wilson has a lot on his plate from the opening scene, in which he’s depicted flunking Hungary’s compulsory exam that will determine his eligibility for citizenship.
“Don’t come back for another year,” one of the exam’s proctors says to Wilson.
