| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumNone of this detracts, however, from the terrific piss-and-merlot performances of Channing and Stiles, or from the committed participation of Frederick Weller as a Neil LaBute-era businessman caught in the lounge between two she-devils disguised as businesswomen. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersIn that millisecond glower is all the fear, frustration, pent-up emotion, aggression and pure unadulterated self-loathing imaginable and it says volumes about where Strangers is heading. |
| Film ThreatRich ClineThis is a stunning examination of issues of doubt and control, as well as a cracking good little thriller. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrIt does at least float a few ideas worth discussing, and it's kept interesting by the powerful performances of Channing and Stiles. |
| New York ObserverAndrew SarrisMr. Stettner has displayed an admirable flair for repartee devoid of malice and misogyny. That alone makes The Business of Strangers worth seeing. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversA maliciously funny and keenly observant movie -- director-writer Patrick Stettner makes a potent feature debut -- that serves its humor dark and without artificial sweeteners. |
| New York PostLou LumenickI'm not generally a huge fan of movies with two-or three-person casts -- they tend to resemble filmed plays -- but The Business of Strangers is a knockout. |
