Quote:
"Unlike Hollywood 'women's films', The Company of Strangers offers no pat conclusions, no romantic fatal diseases and no weepy catharsis. Scott gets deeper inside the histories of these women than Hollywood would allow, and shows us truer, more complex relationships than those films can manage. The result is a surprising breakthrough drama."
