Welcome to America...warrants a look as an immigrant story that doesn’t shy away from the contradictions inherent in its subject. ... Stories of generational conflict and assimilation can approach cliché, but “Welcome to America” stands apart because of its willingness to embrace the ambiguity and irresolution that mark the Mazes’ status in New York.
