ALL OF US STRANGERS Directed by Andrew Haigh
The impeccably sweet and subtle 2011 love story, Weekend, was a breakout hit for English director Andrew Haigh. Depicting a burgeoning gay relationship at a time when movies that centred around non-heterosexual romance were still considered niche (or played for camp laughs), Haigh's compellingly real dialogue and his actors' compassionate performances rightly won accolades.
He followed this up with 2015's heartfelt 45 Years, pivoting to reflect on the long marriage of an older couple, played by Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay.
Now, released in time to attract the 2024 awards buzz it deserves in spades, All of Us Strangers again proves Haigh's talent for crafting deeply affecting relationship dramas.

When caring is ‘woke'
Some years ago, I sat in a small plane circling over Punta del Este in Uruguay. There was a delay and we sat in tense silence until we began our descent. Outside the tiny airport, a taxi ferried us past private Lear jets; these had been the cause of the hold-up. The driver pointed to two planes side by side. \"This one is a Trump plane.\"
