Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal play neighbours-turned-lovers in Andrew Haigh’s romantic fantasy.
Paul Mescal devastated cinemagoers with Aftersun last year and he’s back at it again with All of Us Strangers.
Andrew Haigh’s drama, loosely based on Taichi Yamada’s novel Strangers, tells the story of lonely screenwriter Adam (Andrew Scott) and his mysterious neighbour Harry (Mescal).
They seem to be two of the only people living in their London tower block and they become drawn to each other out of a desire for companionship and intimacy.
At the same time, Adam pays a visit to his childhood suburban home and finds his dead parents (Claire Foy and Jamie Bell) are inexplicably living there.
That plot summary covers the first 15 minutes and it wouldn’t be fair to reveal anymore because it is best to go into this movie knowing as little about it as possible.
Be warned – you will probably need tissues! It is a haunting, beautiful and extremely moving film about the importance of human connection.
