One of the biggest titles to come out of the festival season is Andrew Haigh’s All of Us Strangers, which opened in Telluride to splendid reviews and will soon fly to New York, London, and Chicago before opening in theaters on December 22. Searchlight is distributing and possibly hoping to launch an Oscar campaign that could result in nominations for its above-the-line talent.
Check out the trailer below:
Here is the official synopsis for the devastating love story about Andrew Scott’s character coming out to his dead parents:
“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.”
Mescal could be looking at his second Oscar nomination in a row, for a film that is somewhat reminiscent of last year’s Aftersun. This will be his second film this fall season besides MGM’s Foe, with Saoirse Ronan. But what’s most interesting about this film is that it’s been one of the shining beacons coming out of the festivals, which dimmed out most of the buzz surrounding a lot of the Oscar hopefuls like Anatomy of a Fall (which, in a relatively surprising move, is not France’s choice to represent them at the International Feature category — The Pot au Feu will do the honors), The Killer, Ferrari, Saltburn, or The Bikeriders.
Reviews were glowing for All of Us Strangers, much like they were for Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things, which some are now predicting will be a top contender for Best Picture along with Oppenheimer.
Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as authors like Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
