VICTORIAN PREMIERE
Boasting a stacked-star-studded cast, All of Us Strangers tales Adam, a listless screenwriter (Andrew Scott, Fleabag’s “hot priest”) and Harry (Aftersun’s Paul Mescal) seem to be the only tenants of a Ballardian London high-rise. A burgeoning relationship between them lifts Adam’s spirits; when not with Harry, he takes to visiting his childhood home where his parents (Claire Foy and Jamie Bell) are there to greet him, surely not a day older than when they died tragically in Adam’s youth, in the mid-‘80s.
Andrew “Weekend” Haigh has returned to queer cinema – and how! – with this sublimely devastating adaptation of Taichi Yamada’s Japanese novel, Strangers. Premiering at this year’s Telluride Film Festival, its fusion of Gothic romance and magic realism, and superb performances across the board, immediately garnered huge Oscars buzz. It was also memorably described by IndieWire’s David Ehrlich as a “nuclear-grade tearjerker”. Bring tissues. Bring a lot of tissues.
