Except for heartfelt performances by Sophia Loren and Pete Postlethwaite as her wheelchair-bound husband, Between Strangers is an awful cheat.
Top CriticSlick little perfumed soap opera.

mildly satisfying
It is fabulously badly made, with rare weak performances from otherwise excellent actors ... and idiotic dialogue and events.
A lyrical film about redemption, forgiveness and hope.

Although beginning seemed a little slow and poor, film is succesfull as a whole, cause it made me to think. With a heavy load of the pains of the past, can we still walk towards our dreams and give a smile to the world. From the qutoe: r dreams all we have? Film was good.
