A Stranger Among Us | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

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.

A Stranger Among Us is an unwieldy yarn that plays passion against faith and tradition in a most unconvincing manner.

If I were a rich man, I wouldn't have had to see A Stranger Among Us.

Scenes of life among the Hasidim are soft and amber-tinged, in keeping with Lumet's idealized conception of their lives. The effect is so pronounced that it begins to grow comical.

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.
