Quote:
"Cynthia Scott's The Company of Strangers [...] is a disquisition on female aging, personal histories, memory, life and death, and the coexistence of past and presence. The film maps these topics onto the aged female body, a body imagined as active, mutable and vital even while it signals decay and mortality."
-- Angela Stukator
