    I cried my ass out when he has the talk with his dad 😭.... Andrew, you're an Oscar Nominee to me
  • @MissTAS1
    Just home from the cinema. It’s taken an hour, with drink in hand, to come down from the emotion.
  • @anthonylucca6759
    A beautiful film. The whole cast was invested in portraying the story brilliantly. The message was so deep. Perfectly directed.
  • @jas1049
    Probably the best movie I have seen in years. Incredibly moving and beautiful. Outstanding performances.
  • @AnalyseChris
    Achingly beautiful film for anyone to enjoy but especially the queer community. It asks us to really question the environments we’re raised in and how this affects all our adult relationships. I saw it last night and I keep thinking about scenes, it’s really affected me. I will need to watch it again however I don’t know when because it’s emotionally quite draining. It’s rare to come out of the cinema and have so many thoughts and questions about what you’ve just witnessed. Absolutely phenomenal performances by all 4 actors. Andrew Haigh is masterful.

    Andrew Haigh directed one of my favorite movies, Weekend (run watch it if you haven't l). Andrew Scott is such an incredible actor and lovable person that lordohlord how can you snub him 😢 Wishing health and wealth to the cast and crew. Good luck for Bafta! ❤
  • @Demetri450
    This is the best synopsis Andrew, Paul, Jaime, and Haight has given of this movie and their characters.

    Next morning and I'm still an emotional wreck. the most beautiful, hopeful film. Thank you so much to everyone involved in it.

    I stood up at the end and half ranted straight away, I was so bloody sad I was ranting instead of crying. Still not over it, Cried 5 times before that last scene. 😭😭😭

    This film deserved more awards attention. The writing, directing, the acting. Oof, it's still with me, and will be with me a long time. It resonated from the childhood memories to the reasons why I'm single at a similar age as character Adam. Heartbreaking throughout, but that ending. :face-purple-crying:

    I finally got to see ALL OF US STRANGERS a few days ago... it is excellent. Dramatic, mysterious, heart-wrenching and joyous. I hope everyone sees it... especially those who need the kind of catharsis it provides.

    The Pet Shop Boys music could not be more perfect for this film 💙💙

    I have been an enthusiastic fan of theater and cinema films since I was a child. “All of Us Strangers” literally knocked my socks off. I have watched it several times and continue to find it fascinating and brilliant. … All of Us Strangers is a poetic and profound romantic film that takes up the motifs of the ghost film, similar to the film “The Sixth Sense”, just gentler and more sensitive. The story is about two men of different ages who meet in an anonymous high-rise building in London, but a childhood trauma weighs on the older man, and he does everything possible to solve it. The younger man is literally overwhelmed by his loneliness and wants to free himself from it. … Andrew Haigh has directed his emotional drama with great sensitivity and shows the social changes in the acceptance of homosexuality in his characters' conversations. Starting with the parents, to the relationship between Adam and Harry. ... The performances of the two main actors (Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal) are impressive and convincing and reflect a real relationship.… A really worth seeing film that is simply perfect. All of Us Strangers will leave a lasting mark on my memory as it awakens my memories and feelings of my childhood.

    Watched last night and adored 💜💜💜 Profoundly moving and has impacted me deeply. Being the same age as Adam I’m very pensive about what I watched as is my partner; reflecting deeply on our own lived experience. Coincidentally we even watched TOTP 1984 and 85 this last week and are totally absorbed by the play list in the film and remember it as part of our teenage awakenings 🎥 SPOILER alert: we are both of the opinion that Adam is also a lost soul looking for answers before he can rest in peace. The apartment block feels like a purgatory place for spirits looking for some sort of resolution and peace - Adam included. His illness we wondered if it was AIDS related. His lack of interaction with people who don’t see him. Even dancing in the RVT to Joe Smooth Promised Land felt like a message about accepting and passing on. The measure of the power of the film is all the questions it raises - total show don’t tell. When Harry said to Adam with tears in his eyes “I understand” I heard the thousands of thoughts behind that simple sentence and knew the same - I knew how Adam felt and as a stranger on the edge of my family how Harry felt as well 💜💜💜 Thank you for sharing their life stories and representing this truth on screen that so many experienced 💜💜💜

    One of the BEST I have ever seen . How can it be ignored? I know it’s probably because of the other series. Tastefully done.
