Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott’s movie All of Us Strangers’ early reactions are in – and fans are saying same thing

It sounds like Normal People star Paul Mescal and Fleabag’s own Andrew Scott have another shot after starring together in the upcoming fantasy supernatural film All We Are Strangers – so what are the critics saying? Find out here…

Taking to social media with early reviews, one person posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: “ALL WE STRANGERS is great, one of the best movies I’ve seen this year. A movie about how death robs us of conversations I never have to have. Done, as Haigh always does, with such powerful emotional acuity. Andrew Scott’s best performance by far.”

Another person added: “The kind of movie that makes you cry in the theater and then you go to McDonald’s and cry while waiting for your McPlant and then wake up the next day and yes, you cry. We can all safely say that Strangers is one of my go-to movies years.” A third person praised the director, adding: “I doubt Andrew Haigh is capable of making a bad movie, but that didn’t prepare me for the emotional wave of ALL WE STRANGERS, with Andrew Scott’s performance that blew my heart out.”

What is All of Us Strangers about?

Loosely based on the 1987 Japanese novel Strangers by Taichi Yamada, the story follows Adam, a lonely man who lives in the same apartment complex as Harry, a happy-go-lucky man who gets drawn into Adam’s world. And, just to keep the film in line with its fantasy and supernatural genre, Adam sees his parents the same age as him and living their lives as if it were yesterday. However, this doesn’t make much sense since his parents died in a car accident when he was a child.

Speaking about the two leads, director Andrew Haigh told Vanity Fair: “There was chemistry between the two of them literally as soon as I saw them together… They were both quite fearless. There was no sense that they were afraid to approach [sex scenes].

In the past, I was more objective in shooting sex scenes. Here, I really wanted to feel the subjective nature of sex and what it feels like—the nervousness and the excitement and the physical feeling of touching someone else and what that does to you.”

When is the release date of All of Us Strangers?

Although the new film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival on August 31st, fans are waiting a little longer to see it in theaters, and it will be released on December 22nd – so mark the date on your calendar!
