All Of Us Strangers Q&A with director Andrew Haigh

This is probably the best movie I've seen. It is amazing! I love everything, but most especially how it's written. Such a brilliant mind to create this movie. Brought me into a world of different emotions.

Really enjoyed this interview, both A Haigh and the interviewer. I feel like I learnt not just about the film but about filmmaking and cinema at large

Andrew Haigh is a tremendously intelligent man. I've seen 4 of his films. I've loved them all. Each one is special, one of a kind, a unique vision of the human condition which can never be set apart from pain and loss and love. Thank you Mr. Haigh without your films life would be even more lonely.

Gutted I didn't get a ticket for the Q&A screening at the time but I'm glad I saw the film yesterday at The Garden Cinema and now I can see this recording. Andrew is honest and relatable as a filmmaker, what a breath of fresh air. All of Us Strangers is a beautiful film that perfectly balances drama, comedy and the supernatural considering it is essentially a ghost story - I wasn't expecting it at all, but it works perfectly together and remains grounded. A creative challenge throughout the process I'm sure. It's poignant, heartbreaking and life-affirming in equal measure. A cathartic film that is undoubtedly a modern classic and a new favourite film.

Very interesting interview and a fabulous film....you cannot shake the feeling and atmosphere of the film.

PURE AND LATENT LONELINESS!!! - It's this gay being from the 80s, loaded with all forms of prejudice in the family, at school, etc., that permeated the time. This revisiting "his parents" was the catharsis that the character found (writing the script) to say who he became. Sad and lonely for years, without even being able to have a relationship with another man. Setback, the personification of Love appears in front of him, and wrapped in fears, traumas, and without realizing the speed of time, he gradually allows himself to be enchanted by the possibility of loving and letting himself be loved, of filling the void that the Human Being has as his greatest tragedy! But temporal cruelty, in the most vile and real way, because Death is the "game over", only glimpses the pleasure of having someone as the Central Character... The end, in the Darkness of Time, in a plane that opens up , we have maintained there in infinity, the multiplicity of finiteness, the plurality of All of us! It's to cry, yes..... 😥😥😥😥

8:50 Everything was perfect, my god 😭

27:45. Beautiful

Did anyone else have a negative reaction to the ending? I loved the movie up til the last 5 minutes, which made it seem like it had all happened in the main character's head, "Mulholland Dr." style. That would mean not only did the parents not really exist as souls, but the really beautiful relationship that he built with his man didn't actually happen at all. I would prefer to think that they were all ghosts in purgatory, where those relationships would've at least have been real. Would love to be persuaded that I'm wrong, misunderstood the ending, something smart in response...Thanks!

If the two main characters are outsiders of the gay world, why? Their experiences seem so familiar and resonate deeply, so exactly who are the insiders of the gay world?
