Estranhos

About This Movie

Estranhos (2010) is one of those quirky gems that you stumble upon when you're digging through lesser-known international comedies. The film juggles a variety of characters—each with their own quirks and troubles—woven together in a somewhat chaotic yet charming way. The street singer adds a light musical touch, while the former prostitute and her jealous husband inject some tension into the mix. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, which actually mirrors the unpredictability of happiness. It’s not heavily reliant on practical effects, but the performances are what really stand out; they bring a certain rawness to the stories. Overall, it’s a unique take on searching for connection amidst a sea of strangers.
