Duas Estranhas estreava há 45 anos nos EUA. Não tem nada de eu fuja mais do que filme pra TV e esse aqui é horroroso como usual, mas ele une as duas maiores atrizes norte-americanas do cinema e elas estão brilhantes nele como é esperado. Só um outro encontro assim em termos de magnitude das duas maiores atrizes nórdicas interpretando mãe e filha ocorreu naquela década, mas lá elas foram melhor dirigidas por um cara chamado Ingmar Bergman.

It's a tragedy that Hollywood never gave Bette Davis a good role after 1965. Fortunately, she made some excellent TV movies--back when they were worth watching--late in her career, like this one. She's great as the proud, crusty, New England widow, and Rowlands is a worthy counterpart as her daughter. The script is decent, elevated by the skill and magnetism of the two leads. An early example of the scourge of 80s movie genres, the mother-daughter-difficulties melodrama (Terms of Endearment).
