Directed with a magical touch The Golden Door is a wonderful film, beautifully photographed and directed with a magical touch. The images stayed with me long after - the peasants in Sicily, the boat leaving the port for America and the myriad of faces of the new immigrants at Ellis Island.

Not as bad as some reviewers make out to be... This is an interesting film, if only from a sociological point of view< and it is unfair to give it 1 out of five. It deals with the trials and tribulations of a family of italian immigrants on their way to America. It is also quite beautifully shot, with moments of visual poetry scattered here and there. Not the best movie ever, but definitely watchable.
Disappointing throughout: Don't Bother! I was looking forward to watching this film but I was greatly disappointed. The story was very slow getting going and throughout the film I was waiting for it to get going but it never did!! The 'dreams' were weird and ridicilous and overall I would strongly recommend that you don't bother watching it.
Film at its best This beautifuly photographed film and its wonderful mixture of characters, carries you along from the very moment it starts, to its very poignant ending. A struggling Sicilian family scrape themselves together and head with the multitude for Statton Island and the Promised Land. Its a very human story with scenes that in the mind long after the final credits are rolling.
