Words Aaron Potter

Having quickly become one of the highest rated independent dramas of the last year after its debut at the Telluride Film Festival, writer-director Andrew Haigh’s supernatural love story finally gets revealed to the world.

Based on the 1987 Japanese novel Strangers by Taichi Yamada, the tale of loss, love, and discovery follows Adam, played by Sherlock and Fleabag star Andrew Scott, as a disillusioned Londoner living in a tower block who soon finds meaning when a surprise romance brews next door.

What should be a cause for celebration soon leads Adam to look inwards and question the events of his past, sending him on a visit to his childhood home where he discovers the ghosts of his parents – portrayed by Jamie Bell and Claire Foy – are still living. Is he losing his grip on reality, or has the universe given him a chance to make up for lost time? Whatever is happening, his blossoming relationship with Paul Mescal’s Harry is sure to help guide him through.

All Of Us Strangers marks the second time Yamada’s beloved book has been translated for the big screen, but the first time in the West. Gather round and expect to get deeply invested in a different type of ghost story.
