‘All of Us Strangers’ review: A broken heart, looking to heal, in a beautiful London-set story

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:52:19 GMT

“All of Us Strangers” is a lovely way to begin 2024, not because it’s especially seasonal — though one key scene takes place around Christmastime — but because it’s just so beautifully acted and tenderly observant. Writer-director Andrew Haigh’s drama made a lot of Top 10 lists for 2023. I always miss two or three such films around the holiday crunchtime.

He’s a writer, accustomed to solitude, and to living a cautious life mostly inside his imagination.Lately, he has begun a screenplay about his parents, played in Haigh’s film by Claire Foy and Jamie Bell, and an early close-up of a document on Adam’s laptop reads “EXT. (exterior) SUBURBAN HOUSE 1987.” As we learn soon enough, that year, 1987, changed then-12-year-old Adam’s life forever.In his apartme...
