ALL OF US STRANGERS

Director: Andrew Haigh
Starring: Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Jamie Bell, Claire Foy

Sometimes the best movies are the ones that sneak up on you. You don’t know what to expect and then it hits you in unexpected ways and sits with you for days afterwards. That movie was All of Us Strangers. Director Andrew Haigh also wrote the movie basing it on Taichi Yamada’s novel. It stars Andrew Scott as Adam, a struggling screenwriter facing incredible loneliness. One night he meets Harry (Mescal) who also lives in his building. It’s a quiet night as if no one else lives in this London apartment building except the two of them. It becomes a drunken sexual proposition between them that feels all too real for many who have been in this situation before. These two lonely strangers start to fall for each other with Adam opening up in ways he hasn’t before. At the same time, he finds himself going back to his hometown to his childhood home where he’s confronted with his parents who seemingly died thirty years prior. The film stars Jamie Bell and Claire Foy has his parents who he sees at the age they were when they passed away.
