Saw All of Us Strangers last night. Wept thrice and it is really good, but I remain on the fence about Andrew Scott and it felt like there was a bit of tension between unabashed sentimentality and something darker and weirder. Me and my gf came away with two very different interpretations of the ending.

For me Andrew Scott is one our great actors. Even more so when he’s silent: there’s something in how he conveys deep emotion with a look that’s truly exceptional imo.
My wife saw this movie yesterday and loved it. Will try and catch it in the cinema while I can.

Just out of ‘All of us Strangers’.
Right in the solar plexus. Resonated with me in many ways. Bawled like a baby.
I’m still processing. Sublime cinema.
Take tissues.

Been thinking about it a fair bit today too, and that’s usually a good indication that I loved a film. Was the same with The Holdovers.
Like Piers, we all came out with slightly different interpretations. I also found out that the house they used was Andrew Haigh’s actual childhood home. Nice cool little factoid.
I loved his film Weekend too. Had a real authenticity to it.

Just returned from seeing “All of us strangers”.
So much of the story resonated personally on a fundamental level that, at times, the experience of watching it veered between therapeutic and traumatic.
Thought all the actors were at the fine point of their practise and Andrew Haigh has produced a powerful and, at times, unsettlingly raw portrait of grief and the need for - and power of - love (no irony intended there…).
Huge gratitude to all involved in realising this work.

Saw poor things on Saturday night, weird and wonderful, found Mark ruffalo thoroughly entertaining in it!
Going on the feedback above all of us strangers will be next, though might keep it to watch at home if it’s a bawler so I can properly let it all go rather than a stiffled cinema sob

Inspired by this thread I used my morning off from kids to go see the holdovers, great film, feel like they dont really make films like that any more.
Spent a lot of time in Boston over the years and recognized the place he goes to buy his pint bottle of JB

I’ve just seen The Zone of Interest, and it reached my expectations. Pretty incredible film making.

Finally dragged myself off to see Poor Things. Why on earth did I leave it so long?
Pure brilliance from start to finish. I was howling at some of Vicki Pepperdine’s lines.
Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo were superb.
Yorgos Lanthimos’s magnum opus right there.
