Critics consensus

“Perhaps too laser-focused, Mediterranea examines the excruciating journey of an immigrant with an anthropological lens; a passage full of hope against all hopelessness.”

This debut feature from director Jonas Carpignano is often both harrowing and moving though this film festival favorite...falls short of some of the similar, and even more tragic, stories that can be heard just by turning on the news.

It's a slow-burn study in feeling powerless and unwelcome, anchored by Seihon's performance as a man patient and adept at sussing out and adapting to what others need until he just can't do it any longer.

"Mediterranea" does not solely owe its topicality to recent events, like the tragic sinking of an immigrant boat bound for Italy off the coast of Libya that resulted in 400 deaths, it will induce a shiver of recognition for American viewers too.

Mediterranea offers a human and touching look towards people who live outside society's margins and who here find an ennobling entity and dimension. [Full review in Spanish]
