A strange choice for Berlin’s opening night sees Bill Nighy’s funny Russian the only bright spot while an ensemble cast blunder through Lone Scherfig’s baffling drama

T he Berlin film festival gets off to the ropiest start with this inert, implausible, often bafflingly acted ensemble movie from Lone Scherfig about lonely souls who miraculously find each other in New York. It’s what might be heart-sinkingly called a modern-day fairytale – but the kind of modern-day fairytale that gets both halves of the equation wrong, giving you something twee and improbable, weighted down by a dreary yet unconvincing realism.
There are some decent moments: Bill Nighy is often amusingly eccentric as Timofey, the Russian-American proprietor of a failing Manhattan restaurant, and he does have one very funny line as he serves some dishes to two diners and then, having turned to leave, wrongly assumes one of their intimately intense questions is addressed to him. And Zoe Kazan certainly pulls out all the emotional stops playing Clara, on the run with her two boys from a terrifyingly abusive cop husband.
But the performance of Tahar Rahim, as Timofey’s restaurant manager, really is not one for the showreel. It’s one that he may now wish to have scrubbed from his IMDb credits. This is not his first English-language performance. But his line readings are mysterious. The American-accented English is challenging. He gives every appearance of not understanding a single word that comes out of his mouth. But then the direction is uneven generally, and the film itself sometimes appears to have been Google-translated from Danish via Welsh. Scherfig herself has directed some great English-language pictures, such as An Education and Their Finest, but the screenplay she has written here is uncertain.

Rahim’s character is called Marc, an ex-con now going straight and his best friend is John Peter (played by Jay Baruchel), the lawyer who took his case. John Peter accompanies Marc to the forgiveness group therapy session at a local church, being run by ER nurse Alice (Andrea Riseborough), who does this in her spare time out of the goodness of her heart, though she is secretly hardly less unhappy than the regular attendees. Poor Clara is to come into contact with all these people as she flees her family home in Buffalo, New York and takes the kids to Manhattan, where she hopes her violent husband can’t find them. They sleep in her car at night and during the day, while the kids are dozing in the public library, she forages by shoplifting and stealing leftover food on trays in hotel corridors. The film shows a civil court proceeding for child custody and then a criminal trial for assault lasting a painless month or so, passing in a very brisk montage.
Meanwhile, the strangest and most jarringly unsuccessful character is Jeff (Caleb Landry Jones), an incorrigible guy who reacts to being fired from a mattress shop by throwing a swivel chair through a first-floor window. Is he supposed to have a creepy violent temper, like Clara’s husband? Evidently not. But if he’s supposed to be a sympathetic free spirit, then I guess it’s pedantic and beside the point to care about who that chair might have landed on.
The Kindness of Strangers is one of those terrible ideas for a film: ensemble dramas that are superficially attractive because of all the big names shoehorned into the cast-list. It’s a bit like Fernando Meirelles’s awful film 360, which brings together a similar bunch of uninteresting characters made even more uninteresting by the tiresomely unreal way they are corralled together. And the film is furthermore naive about showing homelessness as a problem to be cured with romance. Still, Nighy has some fun with his wacky cod-Russian accent, arguing with his partners: “Please, Sergei! We’ve had this conversation! ”.
Bruce Willis would of been in forced retirement by now.

Looks like it could flop hard, but at least it's not a remake or reboot; thanks for a little creativity, Hollywood.
They should just have Luke wake up at the end of the movie and sigh with relief that the last 3 movies were just dreams...

A lot or a little?
The parents' guide to what's in this movie.
The film's sympathy is clearly with its underdog characters, each of whom gets the ending they deserve; it promotes compassion and kindness to others. But the slow pace of the narrative and its less realistic aspects make the positive messages less effective.
Positive Role Models & Representations Characters make many hard-to-understand decisions, including a parent who runs away from an abusive marriage without any money or plan (shelters exist! ). On the other hand, people do show each other kindness and compassion, like those who allow Clara to crash in their house or places of business. Alice is exremely charitable toward others, but she doesn't always take the best care of herself. Marc is frequently terribly rude to others, but John Peter and Timofey both exhibit compassion toward those who need it. A main character steals, which the drama seems to view as justified (but isn't).
Violence is infrequent, but in one scene a young boy is found almost frozen (he survives after a long bout in the hospital), and one character beats another bloody and unconscious. A father is abusing his wife and sons; viewers don't see the abuse, but it's referred to frequently. Characters are often upset and afraid. Yelling.
A sweet kiss and lingering hug are shown. Characters talk about sex. In one scene, someone who looks to be a sex worker leaves a man's home while he tells her to "scrub up" next time. One character offers to have sex with another due to sympathy (she doesn't take him up on it). Characters are looking for romance; one couple slowly falls in love over the course of the movie.
Very infrequent. Includes "shut up. "
Mention of a copule of shoe brands (Prada, Florsheim). A character steals high-end goods.
Drinking, Drugs & Smoking More than one character smokes cigarettes. In many scenes, characters drink beer, wine, champagne, and liquor. People rarely look drunk, except in one scene in which a group of men drinks "all night. "

What's the story?
Six lives interconnect in THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS, a Manhattan-set drama. Clara ( Zoe Kazan) is on the run from her abusive husband, while Alice (Andrea Riseborough) is reaching a breaking point from the stresses of her job as an emergency nurse. Jeff (Caleb Landry Jones) first loses a series of jobs, then his apartment, while Marc (Tahar Rahim) struggles to get his life back together after a stint in prison. John Peter ( Jay Baruchel) is lonely and in need of friends, and Timofey ( Bill Nighy) wants his stagnating restaurant to find its footing.
Is it any good?
Overly long and alternately drearily realistic and implausible, this slow-burn drama at least has a great cast and a redemptive ending. But it's kind of a drag watching The Kindness of Strangers' characters suffer for almost two hours and make silly mistakes before they get the endings they deserve. Kazan at least makes Clara's iffy decisions seem desperate and agonizing; it's harder to explain why Alice starts calling in sick to work and Jeff can't seem hold a job for longer than a week -- and it's awful to watch his employers criticize him harshly on the way out. "You're pretty bad at just about everything, " says one. "Name one thing that you are good at. " C'mon, even if things eventually look up, no one wants to watch a downed dog be kicked repeatedly.
There's some lovely camera work (long shots of Toronto and Copenhagen mimicking New York in particular), and, despite the slow pace, you do wind up caring about the lives of the strangers who (often improbably) connect. Nighy, always a hoot, continues his streak here. In one of the movie's best moments, he brings a meal to a pair of restaurant patrons and then, turning away to head back to the kitchen, mistakes a very personal question as directed at him and gives a startling answer. Nighy brings a little lightness whenever he's onscreen, and this movie could use all it can get.
Talk to your kids about...
Families can talk about why a lot of movies are set in New York. What does the city symbolize in movies? What about in The Kindness of Strangers? Would it surprise you to know that Toronto and Copenhagen were the principal places this movie was filmed?
The movie's characters connect on many different levels. Which seem realistic and/or believable? What events and meetings seem less believable?
Talk about how these characters show compassion for each other. Why do you think that's an important character strength?

There will no longer be forgiveness for a people who has not asked for it, repented, and given restoration. There will; however, be prayers for judgement.
