Surprisingly incoherent and boring

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I really loved the entire film, the acting, the writing and the directing all were great !! Six years back I've watched a documentary film after which I ended up a passionate wildlife photographer and filmmaker. I'm not sure but Perfect Strangers may be the drive to try fiction films as a career !

Perfect strangers is a successful film, of necessity contrived because it is built on a successful gimmick- don't want to reveal it here. Takes place largely in dining room (was it a play before a movie?). Good movie symbolized by eclipse of moon occasionally watched by the diners, and ending hinted at by it. Not everything credible, but we are not watching War and Peace, or maybe so, in a sense. Plenty of pasta in evidence, so you and your partner may want to go out for a pizza afterwards, if still speaking to one another - hopefully life won't imitate art.Basta (enough).

Quite difficult to believe that Paolo Genovese's Perfect Strangers is not inspired by a theater play. Everything happens within the closed limits of one apartment where seven friends meet for a casual dinner which turns into something completely different when they decide to play a 'Truth or Do' kind of game using their ... mobile phones. One immediately thinks to movies like Roman Polanski's Carnage , but that one was based on the play (and screenplay) of Yasmina Reza. It seems however in this case that the movie took precedence, but I am confident that the stage adaptations will follow quickly. So will the American remake, I am afraid.What happens if all the calls, messaging, social networking content we believe to be confidential comes in the clear? This is the game the friends decide to play and the results will - as expected- be disastrous for most of the friendships and couple relationships. Is the film about the dangers of social networking and other forms of Internet communication? or maybe about the dangers of hiding and lying and trusting or not trusting your friends? One should see this film to decide. And ask yourself also if you are ready to play the game with your friends.The film starts at a slow pace, and it took a while to catch me. When it did it was fantastic. It also contains a final twist in the script that I will not reveal. It's well acted and smartly written. I recommend it. There are good chances that you'll enjoy it.

This is one of the outstanding movies of 2016. How smartphones/social media has captured our life. And how stranger are we to each other is all about the movie. How 7 friends meet for a dinner. And the imaginary game took out everything from their life. How perfectly the knew each other come out loud and clear in the movie.Loved this film. Shot in a apartment the film will be remembered just like The Terminal. The gay friend, the cheating husband, the secret chatting wife, the wife in relation with ex-bf all become naked by keeping their smartphone open for all. The father daughter conversation is so touching.I can watch this again and again. A masterpiece.
