The fact that theres no dialogue in this trailer makes it more scary. Definitely on my watch list now.
Ronya was deported from Germany with her parents at four and a half-years old and imprisoned in camp Rivesaltes in the south of France. A year later she was smuggled out by the Swiss Red Cross and put into hiding. At six-and a half years old she escaped across the French-Swiss border to freedom.. alone.
After her arrival in America in 1947, Ronya decides to never speak about the past again. But, o n her 80th birthday, with refugee c hildren being separated from their parents, and anti-semitism on the rise, she realizes she can't be silent any longer.
Ronya and her daughters embark on a two year needle-in-a haystack quest across four countries, following the two separate stories.
Her parents story is guided by her father's recorded voice and the original map her parents used to escape.
Ronya's story, as a child, is much more difficult and incomplete, however, chance meetings with historians, locals and current day refugees along the way, help stimulate her memories.

Dir Lone Scherfig. Denmark/Canada/Sweden/Germany/France. 2019. 112 mins
Small acts of generosity gather momentum like snowballs, in a film which follows the ‘pay it forward’ playbook. Lone Scherfig’s first US-set film is studiously apolitical in that it never gives voice to Trumpian rhetoric, focussing instead on the melting pot nature of New York City. But there’s a case made here that something is broken in a society in which a large part of the population is one broken marriage or missed paycheck away from soup kitchens and hypothermia. It’s a big-hearted picture, certainly, but one that doggedly labours its message.
A slightly manipulative quality undermines the legitimate question at the heart of the film
This is Scherfig’s first film on which she has a sole writing credit since Italian For Beginners and it’s her most ambitious self-penned screenplay to date. It shares with her 2001 breakthrough picture an ensemble structure and a sense of lives fatefully flung together. But where Italian For Beginners was spare and ungarnished in its approach – it was the fifth Danish Dogme project – The Kindness Of Strangers treads rather heavily around its themes. Berlin’s competition provided Scherfig with the springboard to an international career after Italian For Beginners won the Jury Prize in 2001. With its more conventional approach and somewhat melodramatic excesses, The Kindness of Strangers seems less suited to the festival arena and may fare best as a middlebrow theatrical release.
The Manhattan backdrop (the film was shot in New York, Toronto and Copenhagen) neatly juxtaposes the extremes of a society polarised between the ultra wealthy and those on the breadline. For Clara (Zoe Kazan) and her two sons, it is kissed with a fairytale promise of a new life. Having fled her abusive husband while he slept, she keeps alive as long as possible the idea that they are ‘on holiday’, even as she gatecrashes parties to steal canapes and dips into the bins looking for food.
The bins belong to a Russian restaurant which, after a long period of decline, has found a fresh lease of life under new manager Marc (Tahar Rahim). He comes with his own backstory which is explained, in one of several honkingly inelegant pieces of exposition, during a ‘forgiveness workshop’ run by emergency nurse Alice (Andrea Riseborough) in her spare time.
Alice is the empathetic glue which sticks the various story strands together – she also runs a soup kitchen, which is where she first encounters the hapless Jeff (Caleb Landry Jones, acting at half speed). Jeff, who has been told throughout his life that he is useless, slowly blossoms after Alice offers him some generous (but entirely unwarranted) praise. Peripheral to the story is Timofey (Bill Nighy, reuniting with Scherfig after his scene-stealing turn in Their Finest). He’s the owner of the Russian restaurant and a friend of saintly Alice whose one indulgence is an occasional plate of caviar. And he provides, somewhat jarringly, shots of comic relief which sporadically lighten the tone of the picture.
Of all the cast members, Kazan is the one who seems most in tune with her character. Her hope is friable, like the smile which crumbles just before she manages to hide her desperation. As she demonstrated in The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs, playing vulnerable but gutsy survivors is her forte. Riseborough meanwhile has a more thankless task with a character who is defined almost entirely by her essential goodness. Non-native English speakers like Rahim and Esben Smed, who plays Clara’s abusive husband, are challenged by the material, becoming less convincing the more they are required to emote. And all are ill-served by a final act which seems to unravel even as it conspicuously ties up all the strands in a big optimistic bow.
The picture is dominated by heavy-handed music choices which serve as a navigation tool through the multi-stranded story. And it’s this slightly manipulative quality which undermines the legitimate, if slightly Paddington -esque question, at the heart of the film: why can’t people just be kind?

Per Arnesen/Vertical Entertainment
Despite its feel-good title, “The Kindness of Strangers” is a rather bleak movie, one so tied to the miseries of its characters that it’s difficult to see the point of it at all.
Perhaps there is no point other than to get a number of famous actors to occasionally cross paths in a dreary New York City in the winter. The movie functions like one of those star-studded Garry Marshall ensemble movies (“Valentine’s Day” or “New Year’s Eve”) but made terribly sad until the last few minutes, when a tacked-on happy ending arrives in time for the credits.
Written and directed by Lone Scherfig, “The Kindness of Strangers” begins with the story of Clara (Zoe Kazan) and her two young boys fleeing an abusive marriage. Most of her time on screen will be spent scavenging for supplies and figuring out how to keep living in the big city with no income or other family to lean on. Things eventually get so dire, Clara’s reduced to the quite literal kindness of strangers to save her and her kids.

In another part of town, Alice (Andrea Riseborough) is working yet another long, thankless shift as an ER nurse who also administers a therapy group and runs a church soup kitchen. Her biggest defining characteristic is that she’s always running late to one of her many jobs and that she often dines alone. Other characters will speak of her singleness with a hint of pity. She’s a sexless saint who gives strangers her all for little in return.
Desperate restaurant owner Timofey (Bill Nighy) adopts a wavering Russian accent to better suit the needs of his regular diners, but clearly needs the managerial help of Marc (Tahar Rahim) to help keep his doors open. Marc remains friends with the lawyer who got him out of jail, John Peter (Jay Baruchel), who is always referred to by his full name, and the two attend Alice’s therapy group together. Originally a loner who has trouble connecting with people and keeping a job, Jeff (Caleb Landry Jones), is yet another poor New Yorker who will need help from strangers.

It’s a shame that this much plot and these many characters never coalesces into something more substantial. Scherfig’s previous works include “Their Finest, ” a bittersweet WWII period piece about a woman finding her way into film production for the war effort, and “An Education, ” about a teenager seduced by a charming older man. However, both of these movies were adaptations of other works, and the biggest fatal flaw of “The Kindness of Strangers” is its writing. Events are so conveniently placed, they’re predictable. One of Clara’s kids will inevitably get lost, sleep-deprived Alice will be driven to the breaking point in almost every other scene.
The only variable in each situation is how low will each character be laid. The last 20 or so minutes tries desperately to resolve everyone’s problems in a neat and orderly fashion, which feels like a reversal of all the wallowing that went on before. Then there are scenes so obvious, they’re almost comical, like a shot of Clara’s abusive husband caught mid-crime, how one of her boys’ computer obsession pays off in the end, or when Jeff awkwardly propositions Alice so she could have some overdue sex.

Many of the characters rely on the kindness of strangers, and a few of them even have the chance to pay it forward. Must the audience be brought so low to learn such a virtue? “The Kindness of Strangers” may have the best intentions, but audiences might not buy the hollow, uplifting ending for any other reason than they’ll be glad the movie’s over.
The film’s depressing tone extends even to Sebastian Blenkov’s (“Miss Sloane”) cinematography, which conjures an image of New York City that’s mercilessly dismal. Sure, the winters might be grey here, but even the sun comes out once in a while, and that’s more kindness and warmth than this movie gives its characters.
9 Women Who Have Directed Movies With $100 Million Budgets (Photos)
Kathryn Bigelow, Patty Jenkins and Ava DuVernay are among the few
Only nine women directors, so far, have ever been given a budget north of $100 million. Even fewer have done so without also having a male co-director or on projects that aren't animated. That needs to change, and with "Captain Marvel" opening this weekend, hopefully that changes soon.

Journal
Emeria is the object of the unwanted attentions of a notorious thief named Ailbert. Meet him in the woods outside of Hyrstmill and convince him to leave the poor woman in peace.
Upon realizing that he has been spurned, Ailbert flies into a rage and lashes out. After subduing him, you discover a sealed letter addressed to the object of his affection. Deliver the letter to Emeria in Hyrstmill.
Moved by Ailbert's words, Emeria has resolved to return the goods stolen by the lovelorn thief on his behalf. Deliver Emer's message to Miounne at the Carline Canopy.
Miounne reveals to you the truth about Ailbert and Emeria: they are brother and sister! Alas, Emeria has no memory of him, as she was too young to remeber when he was forced to leave their home. Though Ailbert has yet to repent for his sins, perhaps Emeria's decision to return his gifts to their rightful owners will convince him to renounce his life of crime.

“There are people who make you feel inside as if you are drinking a good, warm soup – even if you are hungry and the two of you have nothing to eat. ” Bodil Bredsdorff This is how I would describe the majority of the people we’ve met so far. Good, beautiful and kind people. People who were strangers at first but became friends because they took the time to talk with us, they’ve helped us in so many ways and showed us their kind nature. Nothing in the world beats the feeling of gratitude when a complete stranger shows you kindness. We’ll always remember them, they have made their way into our hearts! Since we’ve arrived in Turkey we have met so many good people. The man you’ll meet in our episode showed us what kindness really means! We just had a bad night of coughing, sniffing, sneezing, … The temperature change between the coast and the mountains and spending cold nights in the tent hadn’t done us too good. We had both a fever and lost our sense of direction. We were looking for a place where we could pitch our tent for the afternoon and rest but we were stuck in Antalya, which is a big city and not the best place to camp. We kept walking in circles and eventually asked a pedestrian for the way. He pointed us into a direction. When we started walking, he came back and decided to walk along with us to make sure we wouldn’t get lost. He was such a character that he made us laugh and forget that we were feeling ill. His company was already nourishing but that’s not where he stopped showing his good heart. I won’t tell you more, I’ll let you watch the episode and let me know how you feel about it! Have you ever been shown random acts of kindness by a stranger or have you ever helped a stranger without wanting anything in return? We would love to hear your story!
