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

    Not one single Academy Award nomination for this amazing movie. Further illustrates that awards don't really mean anything but how a movie makes you feel means everything.

    That scene when he speaks with his dad "Dad it's ok, it was so long ago".... Wow
  • @vapsa56
    The "Don't cross your legs " part caused me to sob. It hit me so hard. That was my dad. "Son, men don't cross their legs. Only women do that. " Don't cross your arms in front of you. You don't have breast to hold up." 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 have always been a strong person. But right now, just to hold someone and be able to cry and not be judged would be needed.

    I have never sobbed so much in a theater. The whole theater was filled with sniffles and tears. 10/10 phenomenal film
  • 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.

    Unbelievable that Andrew Scott has not been nominated as best actor at BAFTAs . This is , by far, the best British movie, for years! Scott is tremendous in it. I shall talk about it and remember moments of it for the rest of my life ❤

    Adam "It was a long time ago" Harry: "Yeah I don't think that matters"

    It's criminal that this movie didn't get any Oscar nominations. It's radically extraordinary. So beautiful and touches your soul in every way.

    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.

    This film changed me in ways I can’t even explain. Possibly the most affecting performance I’ve ever seen.
  • @winromeo
    It has been 4 days since i watched the film. Still playing in my mind and makes me think of all the feelings and grief and love and loneliness. Awards or not, this one will definitely stay with people. Bravo.
  • @Kristanrg
    I just saw this today. One of the most beautiful films I've seen. I'm devastated.
  • @3Autumn3
    the way andrew covers his face as he's crying completely broke me because that's exactly how i cry... holy shit
  • @Jobeth06
    Six months since my mam died this film ripped me open with the conversations I'll never have with her. Its been days and my heart still hurts for Adam....
  • @MrJohnnyPash
    One of those rare films that stays with you for days and weeks later. Just superb in every way
  • @davidshea6937
    This Film is so special on almost every level and is on par with so many of my personal and constant dreams…standing outside of my childhood home at night watching my family inside, walking through the house whose tenants have all passed on and left their things as if they could return at any moment…I could turn as my Mom walks through her bedroom door. The entire film, especially the mood of it is SO FAMILIAR and is helping me cope with and better understand and navigate my own isolation as a 70 something gay man whose life has never felt complete…I AM GOBSMACKED TO MY CORE…
  • @jas1049
    Probably the most beautiful, moving film I’ve seen in a long, long time.
  • I watched the movie with my brother , we were sobbing the whole time , and still ched a tear when we talk about some scenes
  • @zarb4
    I am still grieving my mother's death after 6 years and this movie made me realize that I am not alone. One of the most touching and moving films of my life. Helped me cope with my own grief. 4 of the finest actors of cinema and our generation, and the director too. Extraordinary screenplay. So many beautiful moments.
  • @vitaflood6677
    the way I will NEVER get over this movie it is just so astonishingly gut-wrenching and beautiful
