All of Us Strangers earns a 9/10 woke score by centering its plot on the leads' romance and their parents' discomfort with past bullying and rejection, turning the story into a vehicle for 1980s queer trauma messaging. Skip it if you want entertainment instead of ideological lectures on generational grievances.
All of Us Strangers centers its entire premise and emotional core on a gay romance between screenwriter Adam (Andrew Scott) and neighbor Harry (Paul Mescal), interwoven with Adam's supernatural encounters with his deceased parents.
Key scenes include Adam coming out to his mother (Claire Foy), who reacts with concern and discomfort, and reconciling with his father (Jamie Bell) over childhood bullying tied to his sexuality; Harry discusses his own family distance regarding his orientation. Director Andrew Haigh, drawing from his personal experiences, explicitly aimed to depict 'the distinct experience of a specific generation of gay people growing up in the 80s,' including grief over a 'childhood they never had' due to homophobia, bullying, and lack of acceptance, shifting the source novel into a psychological exploration of queer trauma and familial love.
