All of Us Strangers - Movie Review

For example, in ‘All of Us Strangers’, Adam is a screenwriter that lives in a nearly deserted tower block in London. To the man’s dismay, his mundane life takes a turn when he meets a mysterious neighbor, Harry. While beginning a new relationship, memories of his childhood slowly unravel and take him back to his parent’s house only to find out that they are dead. The movie swiftly captures the idea of gay acceptance, gay love, and grieving. It gives the picture of a process of redemption through learning journeys of one’s past and it ends in a note of hope but sorrow. Combining the elation of lovers with the challenges of coming out to parents and of being a ‘gay brit,’ it fashions an affecting and personal story. Olan, Paul Mescal’in Harry karakterini aktarışı da büyülü ve ılımlıdır. Starring roles by Claire Foy and Jamie Bell enrich the story and reveal a realistic picture of the genuine relation between the main characters in spite of the gap between life and death. It is worthy to note that Swinton’s capability of establishing a string of emotions within the script is impressive, and he now has a release that is both intimate and universal.

The music fits well into the general feel of the movie while not overpowering it. It underlines given scenes, and lets me feel Adam’s progress emotionally with the swell and fade of only an echo in the sound that follows the film’s end credits.

The cinematography of the ‘All of us Strangers’ is splendid, and it captures the concrete grays of the city and the organic warmth of gardens in the suburbs. Rotation between light and shade effectively captures Adam’s developmental arc Light and dark play wonderful as a technique to portray the story, while Adam’s childhood home speaks volumes about the story’s setting. The environment in the film is choreographed in a manner that flows with the aesthetics of forgetfulness apart from forgetting.

The element of special effects is kept to the minimum and neatly interwoven into the storyline. The idea with dead parents, Adam’s, is kept entirely spectral so they remain a motivating force emotionally.

The transitions, both temporal and emotional, are very clean, and transitions between them are slick. One cannot say that the film is too slow, though it is absolutely right that each move in the plot has the direct correlation to the other; the plan is left as steady as possible to ponder on the character’s condition and previous actions. Although in some scenes it might seem slow, it has a pace that can be described as brooding and rewarding.

The amount of dialogue is also minimal but very significant, the choice of words reveals emotions of characters in a struggle, as well as their release in the end. The feelings between Adam and Harry are conveyed most effectively through dialogues, which give a essence of the relationship developing between them.

First of all, ‘All of Us Strangers’ is rather deep in terms of emotions; however, some people may be frustrated with slow-paced style of the show. Nevertheless, this perceptible slow-burning makes the character profile more profound, and the message of gays’ acceptance and the eternal longing to mourn for the cherished one stronger.

‘All of Us Strangers’ was rather thought-provoking and heartwarming, discussing the themes of gay relationships and acceptance and conveying the message of love and forgiveness. This is a very important film by Andrew Haigh – visually and emotionally impressive, which make a viewer think and remember.
