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.

Why is this movie rated so low?

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.
