    Daughter comes home

    Strangers is a fine made for TV drama, short on plot, but long and deep on character portrayal. The two characters here are mother and daughter Bette Davis and Gena Rowlands and Gena Rowlands has come home to her Rhode Island home town after years away.

    Davis is not thrilled to see her and we only get bits and pieces of why she left and stayed away. It was a nasty split though.

    The film is the story of their reconciliation and Rowlands has a terrible secret that she eventually tells Davis.

    Bette Davis won an Emmy to go with her two Oscars for Strangers. It's a pity that the Emmy couldn't be given jointly to both women. Davis and Rowlands play beautifully off each other.

    One of the best made for TV films out there. For Gena's and Bette's fans a must.

    Astutely judged mother-daughter drama nimbly avoids soapy trimmings...

    Irreproachable middle-aged woman comes home to her strong-willed mother to reconcile their differences--ostensibly; turns out she has a problem to share, which causes her mercurial mama to take offense. Thanks in no small part to the superlative performances by Emmy-winner Bette Davis and Gena Rowlands (two incomparable actresses), this made-for-TV drama turns out to be a wrenching and moving examination of an estranged relationship with a begrudging love still left inside. Milton Katselas' beautiful direction, from a careful, thoughtful teleplay from Michael De Guzman, allows the two ladies room to emote and sound off, yet the histrionics aren't over-the-top. Katselas is able to weave the intricate, touchy emotions together into a nearly-seamless pattern, making this a real acting showpiece for his stars.

    Rebuilding estranged relationships

    A wonderful actress like Bette Davis is reason enough to see any of her films, most of them ranged between good to masterpiece and Davis seldom gave a bad performance (though she did do some projects that didn't use her talents well). Her Margo Channing in 'All About Eve', a favourite of mine, is iconic. Am hardly dismissing Gena Rowlands though, she's always worth watching if not in the same league as Davis.

    'Strangers: The Story of a Mother and Daughter' is a must see for both actresses and should have more exposure and be seen more. It is great though that it is remembered and reviewed so fondly. Both Davis and Rowlands are more than well served here, and the treatment of such a relatable and hard-hitting subject matter is both sensitive and poignant, not the easiest of watches by all means but this is meant in a good way.

    Davis shows how truly great an actress she was in an initially cranky yet very heartfelt performance. Some of her best work in the later years of her long career and her Emmy win was richly deserved. Rowlands is also very moving, she seldom had a role as poignant as the one she has in 'Strangers: The Story of a Mother and Daughter'. The two have a charming and affecting chemistry together and their relationship and characters have such a realism and make the story even more compelling and emotionally impactful.

    It is easy though to overlook the rest of the cast, and while it is the two leads' show they shouldn't be, all giving performances that complement nicely. 'Strangers: The Story of a Mother and Daughter' is sympathetically directed and paced in a way that never feels rushed or draggy.

    The writing is sensitive and thought-provoking and the story is lifted by the relationship between Davis and Rowlands and is charming and poignant. As said, it is not the easiest of watches but that works in 'Strangers: The Story of a Mother and Daughter's' favour, showing a realistic treatment of the subject and not trivialising it while not going over-sentimental. The characters are relatable and avoid being clichéd.

    Visually, 'Strangers: The Story of a Mother and Daughter' looks lovely, never being too flashy while not looking like something hindered by budget.

    Overall, a beautiful emotional story carried by the superb performances of Rowlands and especially Davis. 10/10 Bethany Cox

    One of my favorites.

    I "discovered" Bette Davis when I was a teenager and read her autobiography. After that I made every effort to view as many of her movies as I could and became an avid fan. This movie is an example of some of her finest work. I can vividly remember, even after all this time, one particularly emotional scene between Bette and Gena in which Bette, as the mother, lets her daughter know how painful it is to love someone the way she loves her daughter. It's powerful stuff and quite thought provoking. If this movie is ever replayed on TV or is available on video, do yourself a favor and watch it. You'll see why Davis is considered one of the greatest actresses of all time.

    A good first draft, but lacks depth

    In this television drama, Gena Rowlands returns to her small town to visit her estranged mother, Bette Davis. Bette isn't happy to see her and tells her repeatedly to leave. The bad blood between them is still a very fresh wound, even though it's been fifteen years, and she's not ready to discuss it. Gena is persistent and keeps a smile on her face through Bette's caustic remarks. Is she broke and needs a roof over her head? Is she wanted by the law and thinks the cops will never look for her there? It's clear she has a reason for coming home, but we don't know what it is.

    Most of the movie features the type of acting Bette Davis used when she was older: a blatty, one-dimensional shout that tries to reach the back row. Even though she was a stylized actress in the 1930s, her "style" seemed to change when she got older, as if she wanted to tell her audience, "I'm not going to adapt to modern times and you can't make me!" I always found it very sad to watch Bette when she got older. I'm glad I gave Strangers a chance because there were a couple of scenes when she let her "modern façade" down and allowed her good, old-fashioned acting shine through. When she stopped shouting at her daughter and allowed her heart to break open, it was very effective. She could have adapted to modern times if she wanted to!

    Gena's performance used her usual, professional style, and both women put as much into the teleplay as they could. However, the script wasn't as moving as it could have been. It felt like a good skeleton, with the key plot points laid out, but the meat of the dialogue was only just touched upon. It truly seemed like a second draft, with third and fourth ones in progress but not yet typed. The difference between a ninety minute movie and the original six-hundred page novel can be felt in this tv drama. Where's the companion piece we can read to understand the characters better?

    If you love Gena, you can rent this one. She's far softer than in some of her other movies like Gloria. In the supporting cast, you'll see Donald Moffat, Royal Dano, and a cameo as a doctor (what else) Whit Bissell.
