Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Claire Foy and Jamie Bell star in 45 Years and Weekend director Andrew Haigh’s hauntingly beautiful new film, a striking adaptation of Taichi Yamada’s 1987 novel Strangers.

Adam (Scott), a melancholy screenwriter living in a nearly-empty London high rise, strikes up a new relationship with his mysterious neighbour Harry (Mescal). At the same time, he makes a miraculous, supernatural discovery at his old family home in the suburbs – one that keeps him returning again and again, and offers him the potential to re-tread and salve old wounds.

Using a metaphysical conceit to meditate on love, grief and the intense distress of a profound loss, touching on mental health and addiction issues, Haigh’s poignant, carefully modulated ghost story revisits the fears and traumas of a specific generation of gay men while illuminating the human condition more broadly. With superb performances, from Scott and Mescal in particular, All of Us Strangers is a sublime, uncommonly perceptive and emotional film.

Contains flashing images which may be unsuitable for viewers with photosensitive epilepsy.
