All of Us Strangers
Andrew Haigh · 2023
Andrew Haigh’s All of Us Strangers follows a lonely screenwriter who reconnects with his deceased parents and begins a relationship with a mysterious neighbour. Set in contemporary London and rooted in the emotional textures of 1980s Britain, the film uses fantasy not as escape but as a means to examine unresolved grief, queer identity, and the quiet violence of familial silence. With restrained performances, precise cinematography, and a carefully curated soundtrack, it builds its power through stillness and repetition rather than revelation.
