Adam Graham Detroit News Two Distant Strangers is one of 2020's most powerful films, period - full length or otherwise - and needs to be seen by as large an audience as possible. May 10, 2021 Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail Unsubtle but beautifully done, this 32-minute drama sticks with you more than most nominated full-length movies. Apr 28, 2021 Full Review Cate Young Thirty, Flirty + Film With a little more thought and a little less reliance on the assumption of shared politics, this perfectly fine film might have been great. Nov 6, 2021 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Inspired, insightful, and uniquely impactful in making its provocative -- and most necessary -- point. Oct 30, 2021 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com The film can be seen as a somewhat obvious and manipulative film (they will be right), but also as a quite creative one when it comes to constructing a powerful essay about the heartbreaking consequences of systemic racism. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Jun 15, 2021 Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL The film is made with intelligence and wit, and it's well worth the (short) time it takes to watch.
