Andrew Scott’s best movie is airing on TV tonight

The actor was nominated for a Golden Globe for his role in the 2023 film.

Written and directed by Andrew Haigh (45 Years, The North Water), the film stars Scott as Adam, a lonely screenwriter living in a London apartment block.

Emotionally guarded after a traumatic past, his quiet and isolated routine is broken when his neighbour, Harry (Paul Mescal - Aftersun, Normal People), shows up outside his door one night. Though Adam initially spurns Harry's advances, the pair grow close.

At the same time, the screenwriter returns to his childhood home. There, he discovers his long-dead parents (Claire Foy and Jamie Bell), living and looking the same age as the day they died, when Adam was just 11 years old.

Watch the trailer for All of Us Strangers right here:

Based on a Japanese novel called Strangers, All of Us Strangers is heartbreaking, yet beautiful and life-affirming.

A ghost story unlike any you've seen before, the movie uses its supernatural spirits to explore - empathetically, hauntingly, and with such clarity - how the past and memories can impact our present.

Boasting powerful performances by its four leads and a stunning soundtrack, the film conjures an intoxicating atmosphere. This spell keeps you hooked all the way to its unforgettable, enigmatic ending, which will stay with you for days, if not longer.

The story is very emotional, so we'd recommend having tissues handy as you watch along.

All of Us Strangers is airing on TV tonight on RTÉ One at 9.35pm. The movie is also available to stream on Disney+.
