It is a moving movie; it has a very good plot and quality performances; it is too undervalued; I highly recommend it.
There is nothing wrong with a movie that isn't polished like a diamond. No, the writing isn't perfect and the acting is not genius (albeit good), but stories are bigger than their words. The cinematography is very nice, especially if you're a fan of NY.
I look forward to more from the creator.

Brilliant story, brilliant acting, brilliant directing. I don't understand why this movie has a low rating. From the very beginning, it captures you, quite sad at some point but it just kept getting better. A well deserving ending I must say.
Love the cast, the acting, the writing, the story- all of it was so clever and intertwined. A really beautiful story of how small acts of kindness can mean the world to other people. Bill Nighy and Zoe Kazan are amazing actors and them together is everything I didn't know I needed. Give this movie a shot, it will bless your soul.
"What about you, Bonnie? Did you get manage to get through the week without hitting your dog?"
Lone Scherfig has a unique fingerspitzengefühl and an absolute pitch for the distress of life. She has composed a breathtaking tale about a collection of odd existences colliding in the New York winter. A statement about life's many adversities but where goodness always triumphs in the end. A theme that the film industry is in dire need of.
It's a must see.

- Trivia"The kindness of strangers" is a quote from the Tennessee Williams play "A Streetcar Named Desire". Blanche Dubois, the heroine of sorts of the play, says, "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers," hinting at her past as a prostitute. The play was turned into a movie directed by Elia Kazan, the grandfather of Zoe Kazan, who plays Clara in this movie.
