The Kindness of Strangers Ratings & Reviews
indieWire
David Ehrlich
While the movie works to depict how kindness breeds kindness, even in the cruelest of environments, it spends much of the time watching its motley collection of lost souls chase their own tails.
RogerEbert.com
Tomris Laffly
A syrupy brew thick with twee and an abundance of cringe-inducing moments pulling at heartstrings.
AWFJ.org
Nell Minow
Zoe Kazan gives a luminous performance in a story about the transformative impact of kindness and forgiveness
TheWrap
Monica Castillo
The movie functions like one of those star-studded Garry Marshall ensemble movies but made terribly sad until the last few minutes, when a tacked-on happy ending arrives in time for the credits.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Even Kazan's stalwart commitment to the material can't resolve the clash of grit and whimsy in Scherfig's schizo moral fable.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
The capable actors do what they can, but audiences are more likely to glaze over than share the qualities of mercy and compassion so dutifully stitched into this diagrammatic patchwork.
AWFJ.org
Loren King
The glum, disparate stories never gel into a satisfying whole. Scherfig is entitled to a misfire when she's a filmmaker of skill and sensitivity; I'm looking forward to what she does next.
AWFJ.org
Sandie Angulo Chen
This isn't my favorite Lone Scherfig drama (that remains An Education), but she still knows how to draw out nuanced performances.
AWFJ.org
Betsy Bozdech
With its poignant story, The Kindness of Strangers serves as a strong argument for the importance of really seeing those around us and opening our hearts to them.
AWFJ.org
Leslie Combemale
These characters stumble through their personal tragedies towards each other, and the resulting interactions are healing to both those onscreen, and those watching the film.
Cultured Vultures
Redmond Bacon
The Kindness of Strangers has a rather weightless feel, often at odds with its heavy subject matter. Warmheartedness can only get you so far.
Hollywood News
Joey Magidson
"The Kindness of Strangers" is a mixed bag, though it's led by a wonderful performance by Zoe Kazan. In the end, she does manage to drag this film across the finish line.
Next Best Picture
Nicole Ackman
[I]t gets mired down in so many interwoven plot lines and a frankly depressing tone that switches to hopeful on a dime.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
The biggest problem is the jumbled and hackneyed screenplay that has little regard for viewers' intelligence ... It's just not a very good movie, and you won't feel much sympathy for the characters who make very bad decisions.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
Scherfig's latest fails on every conceivable level, with a talented cast floundering haplessly like fish floating closer to their deaths as they rise to the top of the fishbowl.
AWFJ.org
Susan Wloszczyna
The best thing about The Kindness of Strangers is that it is very much a product of our current situation when it comes to the chaotic state of the world we live in. Sometimes we get the downer movies we deserve.
Common Sense Media
Joyce Slaton
Lives interconnect in slow-paced drama with brief violence.
That Shelf
Pat Mullen
The inevitable indifference with which this Christmas turkey will be received should be a blessing to everyone involved.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
As the cinematic equivalent of a self-help seminar, this heavy-handed ensemble drama of redemption and rebirth is hopelessly melodramatic.
AWFJ.org
Cate Marquis
Audiences who like neat, tidy narratives might not like this film but its big-hearted sympathy for people on the margins of society and hope-filled belief in the power of kindness will win others over...
