Lisa Nesselson, [Variety](/source/Variety_(magazine)) "A Common Thread is as delicate as the intricate needlework that both women are so passionate about". Louise Keller, Urban Cinefile Set in the picturesque French countryside A Common Thread is a touching, thought-provoking drama about the bond that forms between two women. Lola Naymark illuminates the screen with her striking, flame-red curls and eye-catching performance. ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** JP.
