“Transit touchingly illuminates the close bonds that can form within migrant communities, even as it refuses to harbor any illusions about how easily those bonds can be broken.” – Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
“By turns intimate and
expansive, Transit is a thrilling, at times harrowing, labyrinth of a movie.” – Manohla
