    • Trivia
      "The kindness of strangers" is a quote from the Tennessee Williams play "A Streetcar Named Desire". Blanche Dubois, the heroine of sorts of the play, says, "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers," hinting at her past as a prostitute. The play was turned into a movie directed by Elia Kazan, the grandfather of Zoe Kazan, who plays Clara in this movie.

    Beautiful

    Love the cast, the acting, the writing, the story- all of it was so clever and intertwined. A really beautiful story of how small acts of kindness can mean the world to other people. Bill Nighy and Zoe Kazan are amazing actors and them together is everything I didn't know I needed. Give this movie a shot, it will bless your soul.
