  • Summary: An English-language remake of Theo Van Gogh's award winning 1996 Dutch film, Blind Date is the story of an estranged couple who are desperately trying to reconcile after the tragic death of their daughter. Unable to face either their grief or each other, they go a series of “blind dates”, each placing personal ads in the paper and pretending to be strangers when they meet. They do this over and over again, playing a series of different roles, in an attempt to overcome the pain and rebuild their shattered relationship. (Variance Films)… Expand

    A sometimes hilarious, often wrenching pas de deux between actors Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson.

    It's the kind of two-hander that relies solely on the chemistry of the actors, both of whom banter, parry and bum rush their way through various left turns with grace. Their pas de deux almost makes up for this threadbare tragedy's no-win endgame. Almost.

    It's about watching two always-fine actors do a lot with very little.
