  • Discover the beauty and mystery of All of Us Strangers in this half-hour broadcast special, originally airing on ABC. Cast and filmmakers take us behind-the-scenes, as they explore love’s multifaceted dimensions and unspoken dialogs we wish we could share with our loved ones.
    From director Andrew Haigh. One night in his near-empty tower block in contemporary London, Adam (Andrew Scott) has a chance encounter with a mysterious neighbor Harry (Paul Mescal), which punctures the rhythm of his everyday life. As a relationship develops between them, Adam is preoccupied with memories of the past and finds himself drawn back to the suburban town where he grew up, and the childhood home where his parents (Claire Foy and Jamie Bell), appear to be living, just as they were on the day they died, 30 years before.
    Cast: Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Jamie Bell, and Claire Foy

      It's pushed me across the line of never engaging in the Oscar's again. I've said that for awhile now, but this makes it official. If this isn't one of the best pictures (ever) with some of the greatest acting ever, clearly they have no clue about what they actual stand for.

      @@Chelts Although the BAFTA membership shortlists the films for the Awards, they then have a system of anonymous juries designed to promote racially inclusive productions and performers, that take over the process. It is these multicultural committees that then actually decides on the films for nomination. This system was created to “overcome” the perceived “problem” of too many “white” nominations in the past. Despite the brilliance of his performance, I suspect Scott suffered because of this prioritisation of racially diverse actors. The irony is that as he is a gay actor in a “gay” film, being part of a minority group was seemingly ignored by the culturally diverse anonymous jury who do not appear to have much sympathy with issues of gay sexuality. I just hope this is not based on their religious or cultural prejudices. Prior to the rejigging of the BAFTA criteria it was the quality of the performances that mattered not the prioritisation of racial diversity. So one has to wonder is it more preferable to promote artistic excellence or social equity in the movie industry and what impact this will ultimately have on the economic sustainability of the overall system? As Disney has found, to its cost, its attempts at “social engineering” in their productions has lead to a collapse at the box office of virtually all their latest film releases and a furious reaction from their traditional audience base that has put the future of the company in jeopardy - and resulted in its being attacked by such shows as South Park. Frankly speaking, BAFTA has been in a bit of a mess for some time because of its understandable, but clumsy, attempts to include racially diverse material in its shortlists and the ignoring of Scott’s performance this year just shows how unfit for purpose it has sadly become. These must be worrying times for a once great Academy that is now riven by the unspoken but deep concerns of much of its membership who fear the consequences of opposing the measures that have been forced upon them. Those who have spoken out have suffered “consequences” and I know of some folk who have been censured and, others who have resigned, because of their concerns about the way things are going. Scott’s omission will undoubtedly cause more questions to be asked his fate is just a tip of an iceberg that is changing the face of the movie industry in ways that concerns many thinking people from all cultures….

    I am 61 years old now, and those memories burn red hot as if it were yesterday. My 6 year old self hearing that you have a flaw that your dad was disappointed with.
    The emotions are raw. Loneliness is something that I face now. My partner of over 33 years just passed from fighting a long fight against liver cancer. I am kinda lost right now. What will I do from now on?

      I know this won't take away your pain but maybe it could give you faith in the possibilities. My aunt Mary lost her husband two years ago from a sudden stroke. She was having cognitive issues, but his death sent her dementia spiraling. She moved into a long-term care home about a year ago, and on move in day there was a man in her unit that seemed interested to talk to her. A few months later and my sister and I take her out for lunch and she is telling us about her coworker named Harry and how she wants to tell him she likes him (she thinks she works there). He had immigrated to Canada from Liverpool and her from Larkhall, and they spent their days walking the halls of the home. We bought her a record player for her birthday last May and brought some old records and they danced in her room like they were kids. My sister eventually got the call that they were caught making out and it turns out Harry had a wife outside of the home. They moved them to different floors and then Harry to a different home but I find their story heartwarming. That they could find love in a dreadful place that it lit them up like they were teenagers is truly a testament to the human experience and the human heart. Wishing you peace, joy and love ❤ from Canada.

    Despite the ending being incredibly sad and beautiful I didn't cry in the cinema. However, the film sucked me in and haunted me so much that I felt compelled to visit some of the filming locations. God knows why. So when I got to the spot where Adam met his dad, with my headphones playing The power of love, all of a sudden I found myself sobbing uncontrollably in the middle of the park in broad daylight with people everywhere. It's something I never thought could happen to me, but I must say that it was one of the most surreal still extremely genuine encounters in my life. Although it was very painful and I'm still reeling from it I feel thankful for the experience. The world needs more films like this.

Possibly to let it set you free.

What I meant was that it does not matter what your sexual identity is, this film speaks for and to everyone, about loneliness, mortality, missed opportunities, grief and sadness. The fact it is told within a gay framework, with a gay writer/director and lead actor, makes it more poignant, more moving, braver, but is in no way exclusive. I love the film, have seen it more than once, and I consider Scott one of the best actors working today. It is important non members of the queer community accept the wider importance of seeing AOUS as a morality tale of acceptance and tolerance of everyone for everyone, and not assume queer identity is being devalued by it's relevance being broadened to encompass every single soul touched by this story.

    Being a hetro woman, I was very uncomfortable in the beginning of the movie with the gay relationship. Not because I was judgemental, but because of the foreign nature of it. But as the movie progressed, I was pulled in by the universal themes of relationships, and I truly saw the beauty of what love can be and I felt their fears of being vulnerable. This movie was unlike any movie I have ever seen and I am so grateful to be given this experience that was so unexpected because there is not this quality of movie making anymore. And OMG - the acting. I was just floored with how real these characters became to me. It felt so unbelievably organic that I just wanted to savor every word of dialog. And being a parent, I experienced emotions of my own childhood and of being a mother simultaneously. I did not want it to end. When it did, I sat by myself in silence feeling the loss that u feel when you have literally allowed yourself to fall in love with the characters. This movie is a masterpiece. It changed me. And I am so grateful for the experience.

    If someone described this film to me, about gay sex scenes and the processing of grief-based trauma, I’d have said no thanks to another contrived art film that arty people feel obliged to bandwagon around. The experience, however, not only didn’t put my guard up, it sucked me right into its vortex. The story was so damn good, the writing was so damn good, and the acting was so damn believable. Still comprehending how it got through my defences and right to my core

    it's so disappointing that the movie didn't get the award nominations and recognition it deserves.
    The story is so original and clever and touching. Not the typical cheesy one.
    And Andrew's acting is a whole other story itself. So real, genuine, touching, sincere. He was incredible.
    And then there's Paul's talent and sensitivity and pain and strength, portrayed in a phenomenal way.
    It's such a great movie that people can relate to in so many ways.
    It's not one of these movies that you watch and forget about it the following day. It rather resonates with you and keeps you thinking, wondering, asking questions, contemplating its effect on you by relating to the story and the characters and imagining what it would be like to meet up again with a deceased loved one, confronting them with things you never got the chance to say, healing, accepting the past, and getting closure and moving on.
    It's such a deep movie with so much meaning and morale behind it.
    It deserves so much more recognition and success.
    Incredible actors, amazing storyline, brilliant script and cinematography.
    So moving, i loved it❤

    I just got home from seeing this beautiful film in the cinema today. I deliberately chose not to watch any reviews before going & so had no idea what to expect. What a great film! I found myself in tears while watching & when it ended not one person got up before the credits rolled.. Actually the cleaners came in before anyone got out of their seats.. This hardly happens these days in the cinema.. I think this film affected all of us.. Great cast & director & beautiful story!

      Reading all the wonderful and heartbreaking reactions to this film is enough to make me cry all over again.
      The ending stunned me in a way films never do. Ten minutes later, sitting my car at traffic lights I burst into tears. Looked across to the car alongside me - hoping he had not noticed - and I realised he had been sitting in the row in front of me and was crying too. We shook our heads at each other in a sort of wonder and disbelief, drove off in our separate ways. Quite extraordinary.

    I finally watched the Barbie Movie yesterday and this morning I watched this movie, All Us Strangers. I am now utterly confused as to why Ryan Gosling was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor award and America Ferrera for Best Supporting Actress for the Oscars and nobody in this film was nominated (Andrew Scott,Paul Mescal, Jamie Bell, Claire Foy)… This was a great film with serious emotional acting. What a shame. The real Oscar competition should be between this film and its cast and Oppenheimer and its cast. Period.

    • @kimvanfelton3413

  • @warrenbowen6223
    @warrenbowen6223 Před 3 měsíci +28

    All Of Us Strangers is probably the most effecting film I've ever seen. So relateable for gay men my age (I'm 44), especially the effect of growing up in a quite homophobic world during the aids epedemic, the isolation and the disconnect from the broader world around us.
    It was quite remarkable to sit in a cinema (in Melbourne, Australia) and hear people in the audience around me sobbing at different points.
    Im recomending this to every gay man of my generation.

      Well said, and absolutely agree. 43 year old gay man in the American South here. I saw it yesterday and I’m still tearing up thinking about it. The dialogue and acting resonates deeply. It’s so true to life, particularly, as you said, for our generation of gay men.

    • @ryanlew1980
      @ryanlew1980 Před 2 měsíci

      I just turned 44 this month, and I agree with every word you’ve said. While I believe this movie can touch anyone of any generation, this was targeted to us specifically.
      We grew up in a very specific time in history. We were without internet for the first part of our lives and got it in a very pivotal time in our development. So many of us grew up very lonely with our thoughts and no real outlet to express what was happening to us. Knowing we were different than others and in a lot of cases, being told we were evil and going to hell.
      While the movie didn’t delve into the religious parts, as someone who grew up in the Deep South, it was just an added pressure point and reinforced the line about being a stranger in your own family.
      It’s not an easy film to watch in some parts but no movie has ever spoken directly to me like this one did. I second the recommendation; it should be seen by anyone, but especially for Xennial gays for sure.

    I was reluctant to see this at first because I knew I wouldn't identify with the type of relationship the two lead characters had. However, it was actually a film about isolation and it's effects. It was a delight to witness the nuanced scenes of two of my favorite actors: Andrew Scott (a charismatic Moriarty in Sherlock) and Claire Foy (stunningly good in Lungs at The Old Vic). Andrew Scott is a master of drawing you into the world of his character.

Now we have the disgraceful situation whereby the film itself is only going to be available on streamed media not as a DVD or Blu Ray. What an insult to the filmmakers, the cast, the gay community and audiences as a whole. This push to end physical media by the big studios should be resisted by anyone who loves films and wants to own a copy rather than be subjected to the money-grabbing whims of the studios who just want to rent our the experience for a limited time..

    Devastatingly beautiful film. I had been avoiding all reviews and publicity about it and managed to go into it without almost no idea of what it would be about other than who the primary actors were, all of whom I adore. It didn't play in theaters near me so I had to wait until it started streaming. I watched it and three hours later watched it again something I have only ever done once before. After the second viewing I started watching the interview clips and reading reviews. Andrew Haigh had not been a recognizable name to me but I got chills when I read he is also the writer/director of Weekend. I had been on trip to Seattle for a friend's wedding, was all by myself with a whole day to fill and went to see Weekend knowing nothing about it because it was at an Arthouse theater and looked like the kind of movie that wouldn't play anywhere near me. It moved me so much I went to dinner, alone, couldn't stop thinking about it and went to see it again that night. Thank you Andrew Haigh and everyone involved in making these beautiful movies.
