'Crossing' Is Streaming on MUBI: Levan Akin on the Film's Risky Ending

'And Then We Danced' director Levan Akin tells IndieWire about his new film 'Crossing,' now streaming on MUBI, and its risky ending.

IndieWire

A few good scenes, but too many characters and too many stories leading to nothing.
Unfocused, uneven, unconvincing, with an overall feeling of a missed opportunity.

Crossing, Levan Akin
