- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A maliciously funny and keenly observant movie -- director-writer Patrick Stettner makes a potent feature debut -- that serves its humor dark and without artificial sweeteners."
-
"I'm not generally a huge fan of movies with two-or three-person casts -- they tend to resemble filmed plays -- but 'The Business of Strangers' is a knockout."
-
"Stettner has a serious subject here -- how the hurts that women suffer at the hands of men can be internalized more deeply than the victims know -- and his film is graced with a stunning performance by Ms. Channing"
-
"This intelligently scripted drama about power and its many channels nonetheless delivers thanks to Stettner's stylish visual sense"
-
"Crisp and provocative, and no small amount of its pleasure derives from Channing's dazzling performance."
