Crossing Over

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Crossing Over is flagrant and heavy-handed about a situation that deserves more deliberate treatment, and joins its characters with coincidences that strain believability.

Simon Braund Empire Magazine Jul 31, 2009
2/5
Being over-stuffed and heavy-handed are not even Crossing Over's biggest problems. That dubious honour goes to an absolute failure to address its nominal subject-matter in any meaningful way. Go to Full Review David Jenkins Time Out Jul 31, 2009
1/5
Any one of these stories, if properly fleshed out and shorn of contrivance, would have made for a perfectly serviceable film. Instead, we have lots of hysterical little bits of nothing much. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide The Times (UK) Jul 31, 2009
3/5
For anyone who felt that Crash was too subtle and self-effacing, I recommend Crossing Over, a multi-stranded, heavy handed exploration of the issues surrounding immigration and US citizenship. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Sep 4, 2023
2.5/4
While the film has its flaws, certainly it deserved better than to debut on the shelves of Blockbuster. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Nov 28, 2020

This will certainly struggle to find an audience. Go to Full Review Kelly Jane Torrance Washington Times Dec 10, 2018
2/4
These stories might seem too coincidental and even preposterous. It wouldn't have mattered had they been well-told. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

So relevant today. See more Mary S @RT31692299 Nov 4, 2025 Harrison Ford doesn't fit this weeper. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Oct 17, 2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Andrew W @RT28364530 May 17, 2024 How this movie is rated at 15% when I posted, is beyond me. It deserved at least AVERAGE. The acting was acceptable. The dialogue was suitable. The screenwriting was achievable. What's the problem?!? This is called a DRAMA movie. I don't think this generation of movie goers are used to a DRAMA movie See more Julie D @RT77282042 Mar 2, 2024 I disagree with the "critics". This movie is completely believable and also, excellent casting and acting. I found it to be moving and inspiring. See more Read all reviews
