Film: All of Us Strangers

Director: Andrew Haigh
Rating: 3.5/5
Runtime: 105 min

Andrew Haigh’s latest offering is a heartwarming story of love, reflection and healing held within a genuinely moving and touching tale. Directed by Andrew Haigh and based in part on the Taichi Yamada novel Strangers, this film has power and heart in equal measure. There are two parallel stories playing out in this film with reclusive Adam (Andrew Scott) pivotal to both. This is a tale of a 40-plus gay Londoner Adam, getting triggered by an evolving relationship with his neighbor, a much younger, Harry (Paul Mescal), into coming-to-terms with the devastating loss he experienced as a little boy.

Screenwriters Andrew Haigh and Taichi Yamada make this a completely cathartic experience for the two principal characters and it’s easy to say that for anyone watching it, it will be such a moving an experience that you can’t help but shed tears along the way.
