All of Us Strangers (2023)

in response to Lyla

What are some things that make you cry? A song, book, tv episode, movie, short story, poem. And if it’s a book, be SPECIFIC. What SPECIFICALLY moves you to tears? I am looking to be moved to tears?

God, I love this movie and it's one of the saddest I've ever seen so proceed with caution. But it's not gratuitous suffering (A Little Life I'm looking at you 👀). It's a beautiful, quiet ghost story about all the imagined conversations you wished you had had, the apologies and understanding that never came. I love love sad movies so this might just inspire a new collection if anyone's interested.

Nothing I love more than a good weep and this one really does it for me

DO NOT WATCH THIS ON AN AIRPLANE! Too much ugly crying in a public place.

“Andrew Scott is my favorite person, so between him, Paul Mescal, and the story line of this movie it’s almost too good to be true. Warning: It’s devastatingly sad and will ruin you.”

“One of the few movies that makes me have a real big cry. I first saw this at the Chicago International Film Festival and I was so struck by it I talked the whole way home and then brought it up in therapy the next day. It’s a gentle sci-fi adaptation about grief, loss, and connection. The ending makes me feel like I have to take a lap. I highly recommend if you’re already feeling weepy.”
