{Winner! Most Popular Canadian Film, Vancouver Int'l Film Festival}
(Winner! Grand Prize and Interfilm Award, Mannheim-Heidelberg Int'l Film Festival}
STRANGERS IN GOOD COMPANY is one of the most successful Canadian films every released in the US theaters. This highly acclaimed and award-winning film from Academy Award winning director Cynthia Scott has been called "an unlikely treasure" (Washington Post), and "one of the most exhilarating films ever made about people who've grown old but remain ageless." (New York Newsday)
This "truly daring and unique film" (New York Daily News) tells the story of seven women who embark on a scenic bus trip through the countryside and soon find themselves stranded in a deserted farmhouse, miles from civilization. Although they don't have much food, or a decent place to sleep, or much in common, when faced with this crisis this group of strangers find themselves forming a bond that turns the situation into a magical time filled with humor and spirit. Shot in the beautiful Mont Tremblant region of Quebec Canada, STRANGERS IN GOOD COMPANY dissolves the boundary between fiction and reality, weaving a tale of comradeship and courage that touches and changes lives.

Summary: classic
Comment: I loved this movie. There is something very classic about it. An odd collection of seven women who really didn't know each other...setting out in an old school bus, travelling on what was to be a days adventure to a beautiful forgotten place...end up on what seems to be a life's journey in reflection.
The story is given so subtly, so gently...each woman reveals herself, her past, present and future to the other and wonderful friendships ensue.
I could watch this again and again. Parts of it made me laugh - Michelle's singing, Alice's fish adventures...and parts of it made me sad...Constance's fear of dying, Cissy recounting the war. There is so much heartfelt story to discover in this movie with the characters and it is indeed enchanting and eloquent. A beautiful movie.

Summary: Agelessness
Comment: I loved everything about this movie. It wasn't a thriller, or a mystery, or a sexy comedy. It was a movie about life - enjoying it, savoring it, fearing the end of it, recalling the good and bad times. It is a reminder to younger people that when a person is 40 or 50 or 60 or more, our feelings and ideas don't stop. We still want love and affection. And in our minds we are still 20 years old, in love, with our whole lives ahead of us. It is as much a shock to us as to the young people in our lives when we look in a mirror and see the wrinkles and grey hair our experiences have given us.
The casting was perfect on the movie and it touched my heart.

Summary: Strangers In Good Company
Comment: I bought the DVD, held great memories from when I first saw this movie. A pleasure to watch - because you get a glimpse of the real lives of these women. Simplicity and human nature at it's best. I had my teenages watching this they had mixed thoughts both came away with an appreciation of Elderly people having youthful lives, aspirations and fears. Watch it and make your own choice!
