Andrew Haigh directs Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal and Jamie Bell in this supernatural drama where a lonely gay man starts a new relationship but also starts revisiting his dead parents in his childhood home.

Surprised I liked this quite so much. By it’s very nature All Of Us Strangers is a bit of a middle class coffee table book of a movie. I was put off by Claire Foy‘s sequences as she often feels like she is going through an acting exercise. And I was a little bit ahead of later twists. Having said that, Haigh represents the modern British experience better than any director currently working. Mescal and Scott have heat in their scenes together. And I’m not entirely sure why Jamie Bell isn’t part of the awards conversation at the moment. His characterisation has the most nuance and compassion.
