Thanos Karagioras "Perfect Strangers" is a comedy-drama movie in which we watch seven people who are very good friends get together for dinner. As they are eating they have an idea of playing a game. This game is very simple, they have to share with each other the content of every text message from WhatsApp, Viber etc, email and phone calls they receive while they are eating and they are together with the others. As time passes a lot of secrets are revealed and each relationship between all these people can change. I liked this movie very much because the plot was something completely different from all the other movies that I had watched. It's an amazing movie, with twists, a very well-written script and a very good plot. This movie is a very good example of what a simple movie with a low budget and filmed only inside a house can succeed. I liked the direction which was made by Paolo Genovese and I believe that it was amazing and the combination of the well-written script it was the recipe for success. I also liked the interpretations of Marco Giallini who played as Rocco, Giuseppe Battiston who played as Peppe, Edoardo Leo who played Cosimo and Kasia Smutniak who played Eva. To sum up I have to say that "Perfect Strangers" is a very interesting movie in which we can understand a lot about the relationships between people, from a simple friendship to a passionate and lovely relationship. I believe that everyone can gain something by watching this movie and that's why I strongly recommend for everyone to see it.

sim_tasha Lately if you choose to watch European movie you'll not make mistake. This movie is Italian comic life drama. Three married couple and one bachelor having dinner. They are long time friends. One of the subject was that they don't have secrets. That's the time when complication start. Very simple. Great acting, realistic. I enjoyed this movie.

pedrokolari (Mild spoilers). Just one dinner party with three married couples and a single man. Genre oscillates between comedy and drama. In the process, it offers a fresco of contemporary Italian upper middle class, with the current smart-phone epidemic as central theme. They dare each other to openly share messages and conversations on all phones.There is a final twist, reminiscent of "Dangerous Corner" the old play by J.B. Priestly: the dilemma between a pleasant exterior held up by lies and hypocrisy and the painful truth underneath.I had a problem during part of the movie confusing husbands and wives and who was doing what to whom, but that may be just me (difficulty in identifying characters). So will watch it again more carefully.Absolutely recommendable.

Harry T. Yung This winner of twelve minor film awards, coming from Italy, could be considered sort of "The big chill" (1983) playing an updated truth-or-dare. Seven good friends gather at the host couple's place for a dinner with, for want of a better occasion, a lunar eclipse as the main attraction. It is supposed to be four couples but one guy's newly acquired significant half (whom the others are dying to meet for the first time) got sick.As they settle into an evening of familiar chats, someone suggests a game: everybody out with their cell phone and share everything received – calls, texts, WhatsApps, emails etc etc. I am not going to spoil the fun by elaborating what happens in the remainder of the evening. In fact, they are all but predictable. All I would say is you will not find that one of them is an alien. Oh, there is just one little twist that surprised me, concerning a pair of ear-rings.It was an enjoyable 96 minutes, almost like watching a live stage play, real time. The entire cast did well, the seven plus the hosts' seventeen-year-old daughter who went out for her own fun after saying hi to the guests. Well worth seeing.
