"All of Us Strangers: A Captivating Blend of Longing, Presence, and Passion"

"All of Us Strangers," directed by Andrew Haigh and starring Andrew Scott, explores the lonely existence of Adam, a gay writer living in a soundproof apartment on the outskirts of London. When he meets Harry, his life gains dimension as he falls in love and confronts his painful past. Haigh's lyrical filmmaking creates a dreamlike atmosphere, though the movie's spectral story veers close to sentimentality. Scott's extraordinary performance as Adam, a man longing for connection and acceptance, anchors the film. "All of Us Strangers" refracts the manifestations of loneliness and the longing for missed opportunities, highlighting the universal feeling of being a stranger in one's own life.
