Strangers in Good Company ★★★ The Company of Strangers 1991 (PG)

A loving metaphor to growing older. Director Scott uses non-actors for every role in this quiet little film about a bus-load of elderly women lost in the Canadian wilderness. They wait for rescue without hystrionics, using the opportunity instead to get to know each other and nature. Beautifully made, intelligent, uncommon and worthwhile. 101m/C VHS, DVD . CA Alice Diabo, Mary Meigs, Cissy Meddings, Beth Webber, Winifred Holden, Constance Garneau, Catherine Roche, Michelle Sweeney; D: Cynthia Scott; W: Cynthia Scott, David Wilson, Gloria Demers, Sally Bochner; M: Marie Bernard.
