Critic Reviews

  • Sid Adilman, Toronto Star

    Except for heartfelt performances by Sophia Loren and Pete Postlethwaite as her wheelchair-bound husband, Between Strangers is an awful cheat.

  • Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

    Slick little perfumed soap opera.

  • Brian Gibson, Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)

    As soft-lit and saccharine as a Sugar Jones video, it tries to pass off sentiment as emotion and artifice as art.

  • Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com

    mildly satisfying

  • Liz Braun, Jam! Movies

    It is fabulously badly made, with rare weak performances from otherwise excellent actors ... and idiotic dialogue and events.
