Strangers in Good Company

Director: Cynthia Scott Run Time: 105 min. Release Year: 1990

Starring: Alice Diabo, Beth Webber, Catherine Roche, Cissy Meddings, Constance Garneau, Mary Meigs, Michelle Sweeney, Winifred Holden

In this rich and rewarding docufiction classic, seven old women become stranded at a deserted farmhouse miles from civilization when their bus breaks down. They don’t have much food… or a decent place to sleep… or much in common, but these surprising, remarkable women turn a crisis into a magical time of humor and spirit. A gentler Canadian counterpoint to our “Cronenberg Summer” series, as well as a welcome addition to our Pride Month programming, STRANGERS IN GOOD COMPANY is an unjustly overlooked small wonder of a film that revels in the qualities that bind humans together rather than the things that push us apart.

“Both witty and wise-an epiphany for the price of a movie ticket!” – Philadelphia Inquirer

“An enchanting reverie…and unlikely treasure!” – Washington Post
