There is something deeply profound about “All of Us Strangers.”

Writer/director Andrew Haigh’s film about love and grief exists in an otherworldly universe that brings a spiritual element to this beautiful story. It’s a film that will linger in your mind and one that will surely spark conversation among those who see it.

Andrew Scott stars as Adam, a writer living alone in a London apartment. Adam meets his neighbor Harry (Paul Mescal) and initially rejects his advances, but eventually the couple begin a relationship.

As this relationship starts to evolve, Adam takes trips back to his childhood home and is surprised to find his parents (Jamie Bell and Claire Foy) who died in a car accident when he was twelve are alive and living in the home.

As Adam ponders moving forward with his relationship with Harry, he finds himself returning to his home to reconnect with his parents.

“Strangers” is the kind of film that asks the audience to take a leap of faith, but those that do are rewarded with a rich cinematic experience. The four leads are all superb each bringing a unique spin to their respective character.

Scott’s work is especially haunting, a man who gets the chance to say everything he wishes he could have said to his parents long after they are gone. As someone who lost my father more than 20 years ago that really resonated with me and I think will evoke similar feelings with other viewers of the film.

Mescal and Bell are both quite good as well, but Foy’s compassionate turn may well be my favorite performance in the film – the kind of low-key work that usually gets overlooked during awards season.

The strong cast is given a wonderful script from Haigh that really examines grief in a profoundly unique manner. I never quite knew where “Strangers” was going to take me (and I still feel like the ending is up for interpretation), but I was never bored during the journey. This is a fascinating film that beautifully paints outside the lines of conventional cinema.
