'All of Us Strangers [+], in its essence, is about a man who can commune with the dead. Adam (Andrew Scott) has this capacity through two means: his creative imagination, through his profession as a film and TV screenwriter, can furnish speculative scenarios derived from real life and those he once knew; and also his faltering mental health, making his reality testing go awry. He’s recently moved to a newly built tower block in rapidly gentrifying East London, where he seems overly reliant on leftover Chinese takeaway and the lure of junk TV. Yet, being a single gay man, he seems to have a strange hesitancy about obvious ways to allay his solitude, such as apps, and the small matter of his downstairs neighbour Harry, played by Paul Mescal.

Premiering at Telluride, before moving onto the New York Film Festival and now the BFI London Film Festival, All of Us Strangers snaps Andrew Haigh’s film career back into focus, after the less successful and widely seen Lean on Pete and The North Water. In a week where we lost his great British predecessor Terence Davies, we can commend Haigh as a true poet of British gay life, and perhaps a melancholic commentator on it, too. For All of Us Strangers, to twist the fashionable idea of “heteropessimism” (google it!), is quite despairing on what has and continues to afflict gay men, and is sympathetic and sensitive, but never uplifting, affirmative or even empowering, as is the contemporary fashion in queer cinema.

It’s also good to see a film about an unhappy, blocked writer that doesn’t make you cringe (although we’ll always love you, Nicolas Cage in Adaptation). Early in the first act, Adam clicks open Final Draft and writes “EXT. SUBURBAN DRIVEWAY”, and with Haigh’s oneiric method of telling this story, most of what transpires afterwards could be the tale of an unreliable narrator. Yet the hurtful details and well-observed characterisations of his parents (played well by Jamie Bell and especially Claire Foy), convince us that he’s harvesting something very personal: namely their early deaths in a car accident, and their uncomprehending homophobia. We see Adam literally “going home”, taking the railway back to the suburbs, as a physicalisation of his writing process; what he sees feels like a triggering embodiment of the “straight” world of the late '80s, heavily discriminatory as opposed to openly abusive.

With its method of narrative suspension and uncertainty, All of Us Strangers is far more plot-driven than the director’s breakthrough works Weekend and 45 Years, sometimes to its detriment. The final 40 mins or so provide a panoply of new story revelations that wear away at his script’s prior subtlety. Perhaps being made for an American mini-major in Searchlight (of course, now owned by Disney), rather than A24 or UK public money required a slightly more ticking narrative movement, which pays off as few viewers will be unengaged. Yet an undeniable overwrought quality sets in, especially in the culmination of the Mescal character’s strand, that ironically risks distancing us from it all and making us less inclined to buy Haigh’s grand directorial and structural choices. Yet otherwise, this is a beautiful film that sadly concludes that there’s no love apart from the tough kind.

All of Us Strangers is a production of the UK and US, staged by Searchlight Pictures, Blueprint Pictures and Film4.'

there's this brand of ship that's. divorced parents of main character (ymmv) with a thousand and one unresolved issues and hostility but who still have the finger on the pulse when it comes to the other, and whose decisions can alter the course of nations, planets, universes... I'm thinking about liv's parents on scandal, on some level. about marisa and asriel in his dark materials, obviously. about khlyen and yalena in killjoys (the ones who prompted this post). bruce and talia could be that, in a story about damian. anyway yeah, absolutely killer dynamic, gonna work on crafting one like it of my own.

#and it's not just the ship's dynamic though all of these have a lot in common as they are #(as well as plenty of differences. especially scandal's versus the others) #but about how they can be perceived as Parents of a central / ''chosen one'' figure on some level iykwim? #(killjoys is a bit different in that regard. for obvious reasons but also because yalena has a tragically small part. woe is me) #parents being these larger than life figures that can make or break the world #and when in conflict with each other - potentially pulling the child in different directions and creating an inner conflict as well as the #i just love that blueprint #talking to the void #my thoughts #writing woes #favourites: to fall another moment into your gravity #*as well as the big picture one

'All of Us Strangers was one of the best British films to be released in 2023, at least according to our film reviewer Rory Doherty here at Telly Visions. A romantic fantasy ghost story, the film stars Andrew Scott (Ripley) and Paul Mescal (Normal People) as a couple that meets cute, but their relationship sparks a fantastical discovery in which the parents of one begin to appear despite being dead for decades, allowing him to gain the blessings from them he so desperately craves.

The film debuted during the 50th Telluride Film Festival in August 2023 and then at the 2023 London Film Festival in October, following the traditional awardsbait schedule. The film finally opened in the U.S. in December, just before the holiday break. The scheduling worked, with a 96% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and the film has garnered a ton of nominations and more than a few wins, including at the Golden Globe Awards, British Independent Film Awards, Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, and London Film Critics Circle, just to name a few.

Though the film did not land any Oscar nominations, it will compete at the BAFTAs on Sunday, February 18, 2024, which will stream live on BritBox. The film will then head to streaming a few days later, arriving on Hulu on February 22, 2024...

Here's the film's synopsis:

One night in his near-empty tower block in contemporary London, Adam has a chance encounter with a mysterious neighbor Harry, 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 appear to be living, just as they were on the day they died, 30 years before.

Scott and Mescal star as Adam and Harry, with Claire Foy (The Crown) and Jamie Bell (Rocketman) as Adam's parents and newcomer Carter John Grout as young Adam. Andrew Haigh wrote and directed the script, based on the novel Strangers by Taichi Yamada. The executive producers were Graham Broadbent, Peter Czernin, Sarah Harvey with Film4, TSG Entertainment, and Blueprint Pictures.

All of Us Strangers will debut on Hulu on Thursday, February 22, 2024.'

The amazing thing is not that the stomach churns, it's that it doesn't churn more often

#I've seen people say ''hamas is not murdering civilians it's expelling settlers'' #i've seen people be rabidly anti-Semitic about people fleeing in airports #newsflash: there's not exactly a robust train system or safe roads #i've seen people— neighbors. neighbors. say that animal control is the best solution for this #i've seen people posting maps of reservoirs in Gaza and @-ing the Israeli government in it #i've seen pictures #i've seen people calling for retaliation on Iran and listing off targets #i've unfollowed countless people I thought I had things in common with because nothing anyone can do is criminal #forget evil for a second; evil's not a historical category #this is; as another put it; a series of massacres #and yes most if not all anticolonial movements went through massacres #and I do believe people who switch sides or withdraw any sympathy and wash their hands of it the moment a massacre are committed #i believe that those people are deeply unserious; no matter how sympathetic i am to them #and I also personally don't believe Hamas is doing this half-cocked/for the fun of it/with no blueprint for the political aftermath #i do think this is not random; senseless violence. it was carefully planned violence. a very organized massacre #and of course the stomach churns to that; as it did to what came before and what came after #i just wonder whether anything else is possible. if there is a path to peace where our stomachs will not churn. one not forged in massacre #it wasn't possible for French Algeria. it wasn't possible for India. it wasn't possible for Haiti. it has happened elsewhere #but can anything else happen here ? within these borders ? with these people ? with all the blood ? #so as I have always done and will likely always do I support any Palestinian challenge to the occupation #but the stomach churns at it. don't believe it doesn't

Okay my crackfic thoughts turned into actual thoughts about what a Spartan-designed house would look like.

First and foremost, it would be practical.

A Spartan's idea of "luxury" would probably seem standard to most people. A whole dresser seems extravagant when you're used to a footlocker. A bathtub? Oh my god. The decadence. (Also, good luck finding one they can fit into.)

They would want open spaces and clear sightlines to points of entry. An open floorplan would be optimal.

Wide, easily-traversable walkways and hallways.

A dedicated place to do any administrative work they'd need to do.

As many communal areas as possible. They might be convinced to build separate bedrooms, but it would take a lot of convincing.

#i'm. redrawing my floorplan #fun fact about me if you don't know: i love to draw floorplans and maps #i go through graph paper so quickly #i like looking at pictures of houses and trying to recreate a blueprint on a sims scale #blue team beach house #there. i'll make a tag for it #this is just my gut feelings #the vibes #i might add to this later

fiddleford starts telling ford about all the batshit crazy stuff hes done since ford disappeared (specifically the "i want my son to love me" sea monster robot, the divorce pterodactyl, and the retirement party city-destroying robot) and fords just like "wow! do you have the blueprints for any of those?"

#unphased. just wants to see the cool robots #he is ECSTATIC when fiddleford provides pictures of them #along with the blueprints #hell. hes probably still got the gobblewonker lying around somewhere #actually nah he probably took it apart for spare parts after it got crushed in that cave #rest in peace gobblewonker i love you #simon says
