Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
A Stranger Among Us is eerily devoid of precisely the kind of urban detail and atmosphere that has always given Lumet`s work its authority, even when his storytelling falters.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Tribune,
3 May 2014
fresh:
Although it's enjoyable as a bittersweet, fish-out-of-water love story, Sidney Lumet's A Stranger Among Us is less effective when it transforms itself into an exotic whodunit.
– John Hartl,
Seattle Times,
3 May 2014
fresh:
Director Sidney Lumet is obviously fascinated by the Hasidic community, and he displays this fascination by presenting the Jewish characters and settings with affection and respect.
– Jay Boyar,
Orlando Sentinel,

rotten:
[Lumet] may be the quintessential New York director, but A Stranger Among Us argues that he should stay out of Brooklyn.
– Desmond Ryan,
Philadelphia Inquirer,
3 May 2014
fresh:
A Stranger Among Us isn't emotionally on a much higher level than a Harlequin romance, but Lumet keeps the actors in front of us, and we enjoy watching them.
