    All Of Us Strangers struck a deeply emotional chord with me - An E minor chord, because to me this chord makes the best melodies. It’s the kind of story I didn’t know that I needed, but became essential the moment the film ended. I felt glad to have watched it, but I also felt an intense sense of sympathy for all the extremely lonely people among us. This tale of solitude is both tender and heart breaking, delicate and haunting. It’s a must-see for those who are not afraid of getting in touch with their inner fear of lonesomeness.

    It took me years to gather the courage to watch this movie. Not that I don’t like weird plots, or gross scenes. I can actually handle these scenes well, but maybe I believed this movie would be harder to take than the other shocking ones that I had seen before. Well, it turns out that I highly recommend Oldboy. The plot is intricate and intriguing, keeping our eyes glued to the screen so that no detail is missed. The cast is outstanding, the soundtrack is precise, and the so-called anthological scenes are definitely to be called that way. Go for it!
