  All of Us Strangers 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 13 Jan 2024 4

  This is an imperfect film, but the best bits  of it are beyond perfect, they are sublime. The central conceit is a challenging one to carry off, and this leads to some sequences that didn’t quite land for me, but the film is nonetheless an incredible achievement, crowned by a deeply emotional, heart-rending, vulnerable performance by Andrew Scott. It was especially wonderful to see in a special preview attended by a very queer Melbourne audience.

  One of the only films Roger Ebert ever gave zero stars to. Roger, eat my fuck.
