'All of Us Strangers' to Debut on Hulu
Paul Mescal as Harry and Andrew Scott as Adam in 'All of Us Strangers'
Searchlight Pictures
All of Us Strangers was one of the best British films to be released in 2023, at least according to our film reviewer Rory Doherty here at Telly Visions. A romantic fantasy ghost story, the film stars Andrew Scott (Ripley) and Paul Mescal (Normal People) as a couple that meets cute, but their relationship sparks a fantastical discovery in which the parents of one begin to appear despite being dead for decades, allowing him to gain the blessings from them he so desperately craves.
The film debuted during the 50th Telluride Film Festival in August 2023 and then at the 2023 London Film Festival in October, following the traditional awardsbait schedule. The film finally opened in the U.S. in December, just before the holiday break. The scheduling worked, with a 96% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and the film has garnered a ton of nominations and more than a few wins, including at the Golden Globe Awards, British Independent Film Awards, Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, and London Film Critics Circle, just to name a few.
Though the film did not land any Oscar nominations, it will compete at the BAFTAs on Sunday, February 18, 2024, which will stream live on BritBox. The film will then head to streaming a few days later, arriving on Hulu on February 22, 2024. Check out the new trailer for the streaming debut.
Here's the film's synopsis:
One night in his near-empty tower block in contemporary London, Adam has a chance encounter with a mysterious neighbor Harry, which punctures the rhythm of his everyday life. As a relationship develops between them, Adam is preoccupied with memories of the past and finds himself drawn back to the suburban town where he grew up, and the childhood home where his parents appear to be living, just as they were on the day they died, 30 years before.
Scott and Mescal star as Adam and Harry, with Claire Foy (The Crown) and Jamie Bell (Rocketman) as Adam's parents and newcomer Carter John Grout as young Adam. Andrew Haigh wrote and directed the script, based on the novel Strangers by Taichi Yamada. The executive producers were Graham Broadbent, Peter Czernin, Sarah Harvey with Film4, TSG Entertainment, and Blueprint Pictures.
All of Us Strangers will debut on Hulu on Thursday, February 22, 2024.
