“Kindness of Strangers”is a tale of despair and lifelines, homelessness and hope, and maybe romance — in New York City, no less.

Zoe Kazan, Andrea Riseborough, Bill Nighy, Caleb Landry Jones, Jay Baruchel and Tahir Raheem star in this February release, written and directed by the filmmaker who gave us “An Education,” Lone Scherfig.

This looks lovely.
