Okay. here it is. and before you watch, listen up:

This truly is one of the greatest queer films we have ever seen. It reduced Alex to never before seen levels of tears in any of our reactions. This is still stuck in our minds and hearts. It beautifully and heartbeakingly tells our stories of all LGBTQ+ people and how lonely it can be and how important it is to love each other as well as ourselves. 

This isn't just a film for us, this is one for everyone. So please, share this with your friends, your families, anyone and everyone needs to see this. Andrew Scott is also just so powerfully amazing. This film is why we do this channel!

Okay rant over as i can feel the tears coming back...

We love you all so much!

Yes!!! I just saw this in Theatres and loved it. So glad to hear your guys’ take on it.

Ethan Murphy

Time to start sobbing all over again 😭😭😭. I went and saw it for my birthday and at first didn’t understand the ending in full, but then TikTok happened and I was BROKEN 😂😭

Diane Furlong

Oh my goodness! Getting ready to go to work in an hour. I think I’d better watch this evening when I’m back home because I’m pretty sure tears are going to be involved. Thanks Guys!

Jenny Lukan

I have been waiting for your reaction to this!! I saw it 3 times in theaters and every time I noticed something new. I can’t believe it got no nominations at the Oscars.

Chris Metzger

I'm guessing I probably shouldn't watch this at work. I'm so tempted to watch it now, though!

Heather S.

SCREAMING & CRYING!!! 😭💔 This movie broke me but I still loved it and think of it on a daily basis. So excited to see your reactions. 🥹

Chris Mackenzie

This is one movie I have been eagerly awaiting your review of. Andrew and Paul are absolutely brilliant and play their respective characters so well. Finally, I get to see your review, that is if I survive going abseiling in the Blue Mountains this weekend 😩 P.S Your blurb is no rant, and whilst I haven’t see your reaction yet, I have already watched the movie, so I imagine your reaction/ review will be, as always a fresh and thoughtful response to one of the best LGBTIQ+ movies.

Stian Kristoffersen

Oh, my gosh! Thank you. I haven't gotten around to watch this yet and, based on your comment, think it's best to not watch it alone. Boy, am I happy to have you guys!! ❤️

I saw this in the theatre and read the book is based on. I still think about it.

Olivia

me and my friend saw this movie in the cinema on the day it came out and i was actually hyperventilating with how much i was crying whilst watching it, cant wait to cry all over again when i watch this reaction! ❤️😭

Darrin Bodner

Can't wait to watch your reaction. I saw it a few weeks back and was similarly moved. One of the best I've ever seen. Queer, but truly a movie for everyone.

NessaC

Haven’t watched your reaction yet but saw this in the cinema and it cut deep. Fully agree with everything you “ranted” about. Brilliant brilliant film that I haven’t stopped thinking about

Zee

This film hit me like no other. I watched it multiple times in the theater, have never done that for a movie before. Your disclaimer is spot on. It’s such a beautiful piece of cinema, and Andrew and Paul are amazing in it. I’ve seen reviews from people who didn’t get it or thought it was boring and I wonder to myself, have they ever been lonely? To me, it’s an incredible representation of loneliness and grief, and yet love and hope as well.

Gina Lipkin

I was planning to see this with my son, we watched the trailer together, so pleased to get to watch it now, thank you so much, big love to one and all

Henry Riley

Omg I’ve been waiting for this 🥹

Kyren Hammond

I think I'll need to watch this one in bits a little bit to sad and triggering for me thank you for your reaction

Jose Matutina

They actually used the childhood home of the director in filming this movie. Definitely this is one of the best movies of the year but unfortunately shut out from the Oscars and Andrew Scott was snubbed in the BAFTAS. Although Claire Foy and Paul Mescal were nominated instead in the British awards.

Anonymous

Thanks for reacting to this ❤️

Anonymous

Loved going through this experience with you! Watched this with a queer friend a while back and just the visceral recognition of some of the things they described, both relating to being queer but also just being a kid on the outside in some other way is so incredibly moving. I think I started crying when Harry (spoilers) first talked about feeling like he drifted to the outskirts of his family, and didn't stop until we walked out of the theatre. I was most of all impressed (SPOILERS AGAIN) by how corny/cheesy the premise could have been if you just have te describe it in 3 sentences or less, but the performances of the cast make it so genuine and intimate and lovely that it makes the movie truly one of a kind.

Jenny Lukan

Andrew Haigh is brilliant. He wrote/produced Looking and wrote/directed Weekend, which you should absolutely react to! It shares similar themes to AOUS. AOUS is adapted from a book, but Andrew Haigh definitely infused his own experience into it. Especially with the use of his actual childhood home as the set. SPOILERS: I’m glad Josh picked up on the fire. I didn’t pick up on that until my second watch. I think Adam is dying in a fire in the building but I think the fire starts after Harry is rejected by Adam and ODs. Adam’s shortness of breath/feeling hot, the orange/red hues, and the fire references in lyrics all start after Harry goes down in the elevator but I could be wrong about the timeline. Watching it again gives new perspective to the introduction of Harry. After being rejected, you can definitely see on his face the decision to die. What’s so special about this film is that so much is up for interpretation by the audience and how they relate to it.

Jacqui Chesterton

"I'm sorry I never came in your room when you were crying" is something I didn't know I needed to hear so badly until I saw this film. Probably most children of our and previous generations. I cried at that line in the trailer, in the cinema, and now again with you guys. ❤️‍🩹

Cole

Where are you all watching this movie online? It didn’t play in a theatre near me.

Heather S.
>>129774727

I was curious about this as well. Is it streaming in the UK already? I know it is due to be on Hulu on 2/22 in the US.

Sara Nissen

Actually, I didn't really cry until a little bit a the end, I just had more of a heavy feeling throughout this movie while sitting there glued to the screen to pay extra attention to the details and to absorb the feeling/meaning, cause I had a feeling like you also said, that it was that kind of movie, where you really had to pay attention to get it all/not miss anything, if not intelectually, then definately emotionally. I had a feeling that it was either him being lonely and while imagening his parents also made Harry up to not be as lonely, or something tragic would happen to them or one would save the other from something, but I didn't think of that specific ending. So much up for interpretation. Wow so well done all around, what a great movie. And that song at the end fit so well.

Frances

Oh Alex I just wanna give a big hug. This film was a tough one but it was beyond amazing! I’m very thankful for your guys‘ channel. It’s so good. It’s educational, it’s funny, it’s joyful and sometimes also sad… Because of you and all these wonderful queer shows and films you react to and share your thoughts on, I went on my own personal journey - Questioning my sexuality… I mean, I’m a single mom in my mid thirties and I came to the conclusion (so far) that I’m definitely not straight (although I always thought i was). Im glad I „found“ you guys! Thank you 🫶🏽

Dennis Verner

Wow, I'm not sure if I want to watch this. I see Jamie Bell plays Andrew Scott's father. Trying to wrap my head around that. Well, I'm sure you guys did a brilliant job with it so, here goes.

Mel Baker

YES! I'm not sure if I'm ready to watch it again.But I NEED to see your reactions, so I just jump right in!😭💔

Jacqui Chesterton

Side note, the captions were terrible lol - that must have been very distracting.

Jamie

I was so confused and so sad during this movie, and then, after the tears I was like "Wait, was he dead the whole time? Were they having ghost sex?!" which isn't the point at all, but you know. LOL. I think this film is very beautiful and says a lot about grief and queer experiences. Grief never really goes away, I just think we learn to carry it better. Or at least, that's been my experience with it. Some days it's still really heavy, not unlike the queer experience either, IMO. Some days we're all light and comfortable with ourselves and then the next, something happens, and we're right back there to when it felt awful and insurmountable. Like Harry sort of implied, always teetering on that edge.

Suze

Oh wow. I just finished watching this and I think I might be broken. I'm glad I didn't watch it alone! Thanks for holding my hand throughout

David Vriesenga

"Its Croydon" - you are a bitch - i will keep watching now

Are you on the Discord? We have chats about discovering different identities later in life quite often over there.

Frances
>>129776929

I did but though I don’t have any problems with figuring out different social media platforms, I never managed to understand discord 😅 it’s very confusing to me so I deleted it again 🙈. And right now I fell like I’m spending a lot of my free time on social media generally and I don’t really wanna add to it. Maybe I’ll give it another try someday ☺️

omg the timing, i just watched this yesterday in the theater (yes, alone... on valentines day)

David Vriesenga

Wow, the best reaction - so real, I am almost 70, American but moved to South London at 29 - had a great husband f0r 25 years. This is your most honest post I have ever seen Incredible film, super review - I do not cry often but this did it - thank you

Anonymous

Such a beautiful movie! Was not expecting the end either. The time he had with his parents was beautiful. I lost both of mine, not at the same time, but a few months apart from each other. I imagine conversations I would have had with them if they were still here. So I found this story to be so amazingly beautiful. 10 out of 10 all the way around. Loved watching along with the two of you. 🥰😭😭😭😭

Ruth May

I have been waiting to watch this and judging by what I have heard about it, I am glad that I am going to watch it with you guys. Tomorrow…and if Alex cries, I’m going to be completely wrecked. 😭🤯

David Watt

I saw this in the cinema last Monday and cried like a baby. And tonight I’ve just done it again - the film is superb! Those four actors (but especially Andrew and Paul) were just spectacular.

Charlzz

When you two mentioned how Adam was a writer, it made me think, not only was he writing those scenes with his parents, wondering how it might have been to talk to them, but also maybe he was also writing about Harry, trying to process his feelings for both. It's hard to tell whether Adam is feeling optimistic after all that because if he really didn't have that relationship with Harry, then he had to come up (much like his parents) with the story he would have with Harry. It's a what-if scenario? I think between him dealing with the grief of losing his parents and the grief of not having done anything with Harry, he has come to a positive moment, in a weird way. He's ready to listen to Harry and loosen the knot inside of him. Adam's imagination of Harry is to show that even if Harry wasn't the one, he could maybe take that leap. Both sad, and possibly hopeful.

In 2011 Andrew Haigh has shot "Weekend". In 2023 - "All of Us Strangers", "Weekend" on steroids.

Sarah Vallance (Accessible Yoga with Sarah)

I went to see this by myself in the cinema and ugly cried my way through it. I wasn’t the only one though, as the credits were rolling, instead of hearing people get up to leave, we were all just crying. I think the apology from the dad for not coming into his room when he was crying really got me, and also the final diner scene when the mum says that there will never be long enough, because there will never be long enough with the people in our lives that we love. I also did not see the ending coming at all and that broke me. What a beautifully written film, so gorgeously shot, and all of the actors were incredible! Thank you for sharing your reaction ❤️

Diane Furlong

WOW! I’m so glad that I didn’t see this in the theater. What a powerful story!! HUGS EVERYONE! I’m grateful to have you all in my life. Alex and Josh I think we could all use an upbeat movie next to regroup Please!

Andrea Kammerer

Uhhhhh this was a tough one. This was my second time watching and I think I cried more this time around. I appreciated you calling out how the explicit scenes might make this less accessible to other audiences .. I actually think that's a version of heteronormative behavior. I'm a woman married to a man and got into a bit of a fight about my husband "not being able to" watch Fellow Travelers. I pointed out the fact that if it was a man and a woman having sex he would be all for it. Speaking of FT I'm also seeing a parallel of the ending - Hawk was able to acknowledge his feelings for Tim at the end speaking to his daughter and similarly to the ending here it was too late.

Chris Mackenzie
>>129821344

Unfortunately I think that the sex scenes in Fellow Travellers may be something that prevents a much wider group of viewers and I find that incredibly sad. I will keep spruiking to all of my straight friends, in a hope to break through the Ignorance. In additional to the sex scenes there is few other aspects of it that might stop hetro’s from watching it, i.e. fire island, bath houses and cottaging, or cruising in general. I think a lot of people may believe that these were just places were just gratuitous and because gays are stereotypically more sexual, these places were just a place to get off, and yes while that is a central element, there is the whole sub culture to them and that there was a reason beyond “ convenience” as to why these places existed.

Chris Mackenzie
>>129774250

It's a fine line between entering a teenage boy's room when he is crying, as exemplified by Hawk's father not knocking in 'Fellow Travellers,' and potentially doing something else. However, I can speak from experience that there were occasions when I was in my bedroom crying, and my Mum didn't pick up on it. Yet, there were other times when I was up to no good, such as cutting off the cast on my leg because it was just so damned itchy; I felt I had no choice but to cut it off.

Ruth May

I just finished watching. It’s quite rare I think that watching a film genuinely demands 100% of your attention and makes you completely lose a sense of where you are and what time it is, but that happened. And then I was back in Cornwall watching Alex crying and crying myself. Thanks for your reaction, guys. I was going to watch season 2 episode 4 of Young Royals with you but you have already destroyed me sufficiently for one day, so…tomorrow. x ❤️👑❤️

Prinsassy

Wow !!! What a performance !!!! Great movie!!! It was really hard to see Alex cry like this... Feel cuddled.

Are you really gay if you don’t immediately start moving to the pet shop boys

Diane Furlong
>>129814917

Oh I’ll go along with whatever they choose but I’m thinking the Guys would appreciate something a little more upbeat for a quick minute as well.

Naava

Well this one brought me to a very strange state of mind :D Thank you <3

Jacqui Chesterton
>>129774250

I don't think there was any suggestion that he should have come in without knocking. I think what is intimated by the line is that his father knew he was crying and was uncomfortable with his son's emotional landscape, and so chose not to try. That was my experience and I'm sure many many others too.

Suze
>>129776929

I found discord really tricky at first too but I’m generally okay with it now, it just takes a bit of practice. I totally understand what you mean about social media though. I don’t even want to know how much time I spend room scrolling on TikTok. If you decide to pop in again just tag mods and I’ll be able to give you a hand :)

Diane Furlong
>>129814917

Oh I absolutely rewatch RWRB on a regular basis. Last night after watching this I watched the YouTube version before going to sleep

Pip

I never understand how you boys get past copyright. I only watched this last week in the cinema. Is it even streaming yet? 🤔 😁

Frances
>>129776929

Thank you 🫶🏽 I also don’t have TikTok because of that particular reason. Insta, Patreon and YouTube are already very time consuming 😅

Jamie

I’ve had to watch so much “straight sex” in movies and shows every time i turn around over the years, that i think straight people can suck it up and deal, just like i had to. Andrew Scott said basically the same thing in an interview. 😂

Ruth May
>>129782842

I used to work in Croydon and I think Josh must have been being ironic when he called it a beautiful place…😂

Noah

I saw this in the cinema with my friend and we both just sobbed in silence at the end until the credits had finished. I think what this film does so well, as Alex pointed out, is contrasting different experiences of queer loneliness, particularly cross-generationally. Adam is lonely because his parents never got to know him and because he grew up in a time with little positive awareness. In direct contrast, Harry is lonely because his parents DID in fact know him and it only created further division, despite the way that society has moved on. I think that any queer person, no matter the relationship with their parents, would have trouble not relating to this in some way. The depiction of feelings surrounding family dynamics and isolation were so very raw.

Jose Matutina

Harry could have figured out which flat to go to by the light from Adam's unit, since they're the only two tenants in the building.

Ann-Marie Still

Watched it last week in the cinema. Cried all the way home. And the next day, and the day after that. Alex, I'm 53 years old and I had to call my mum afterwards too. And my children, just to reiterate how proud I am of them 💜

David Vriesenga

Well back/still in Croydon we envy you and your beaches. I agree, I watched this more than once just to absorb the power. BTW - Young Royals gets easier in year two, but unsure about year three -

It never gets easier! I am too invested! ❤️👑❤️

Anonymous

I actually saw this twice in the cinema - it's one of the best films I've seen in a really long time. I can't tolerate the most likely ending though - in my head that's just a terrible alternative future that didn't actually happen. 😆 To add to my love for the film I'm Irish so I'm obviously incredibly proud of Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott (and totally OUTRAGED that Andrew didn't get a BAFTA nomination). If you haven't already seen their ridiculously cute promo bits you need to go and watch them now - they're total serotonin. They obviously just really love and respect each other so much.

>>129831089

I know exactly what you mean about being so absorbed - that hasn't happened to me watching a film in a long time.

A couple of other commenters mentioned this, but you should definitely watch Andrew Haigh's earlier film Weekend. Much more low-key but really brilliant.

Claudia E.

As someone who can't watch this movie in the cinema right now, I was more than thrilled that I could watch it together with the both of you. Today is the seventh anniversary of my mom's death. So the good bye scene with his parents caught me off guard and made me cry. The time you have with each other is never enough. And yes, please put the weekend-movie on your list. It's the same director and I haven't watched it yet. But I enjoyed his other work Looking a lot, so did you as I recall.

Anonymous

This was very good. The movie is based on A novel, Strangers by Taichi Yamada, translated from Japanese. I have read the novel and it is more horror. I loved what Andrew Haigh took from the novel and what he changed.

J Cun

Really loved your statement “Consent is sexy.” Couldn’t be a truer statement. And love when they show that in screen.

Jacqueline Hahn

This film is absolutely beautiful. Only four actors really in it, and every one of them knocked it out of the park. As brilliant as they all were though, Andrew Scott was outstanding! That last scene with his parents left me sobbing. This could have felt stupid, ridiculous, but it just didn't. It portrayed perfectly that yearning we feel to have one more conversation with a loved one we've lost. One last chance to say all of the things you didn't have time to say, or were too afraid to say when they were alive. Also the need we have to love & be loved, and it doesn't matter whether that's on a familial level or a sexual one, we need love in our lives, and that doesn't matter what your sexuality is. The ending left me so confused though. Is Adam just wishing/dreaming Harry is asleep in his arms, or has he joined him?

Gina Lipkin

The film acheiver everything it set out to achieve, incredible believable real performances, much needed for all humans to connect, always show and say your Love. The Power Of Love, so meaningful, unique and uniting of spirits, so pleased these actors are recognised for this work and that they all work so wonderfully together, what a journey for all of them x

I read that Harry had taken his life in his own flat after first meeting Adam and not being let in by Adam

What an amazing film. I was planning to go watch this at the cinemas alone but then saw you had reviewed it and honestly watching along with you made it better and also helped the ending not be as upsetting because I wasn’t alone! Your final debrief just resonates the importance of this film - remember you are loved, and we all love you for what you do!

I'm so raging about how Andrew Scott was snubbed in the BAFTAs! Paul Mescal was clearly also really unhappy about it - they were interviewed on Irish TV just after the noms and he was just so passionate about how much he admired Andrew as an actor - it was so genuine.

Jose Matutina
>>129766812

Andrew Scott was the heart of the film. The film's strange concept would not have worked without Scott's brilliant characterization.

Gina Lipkin

The film is from a book called "Strangers" by Taichi Yamada, set in Tokyo

It is great movie. Thanks for sharing ur feelings. Have seen it twice in Cinema and first time I did not cry but it made me think. The end really got me. What a tiny thing can make a massive difference. If Adam had let Harry in that night he might still live. That was playing over and over in my mind. Andrew Haigh said in an interview he wants ppl think when they leave the cinema and I think he is really good at that. There is a theory that there was a fire in the building and Adam got killed during that fire. It would explain some things but still there are some issues with the logistics. Not sure. Let me know what u guys think

Michelle Barry

I bawled my eyes out through two thirds of this movie 😭 Andrew Scott was brilliant! The conversation with his Dad after he came out to his Mom really did me in. Claire Foy and Andrew’s scenes really got to me. What an amazingly different film, I absolutely loved it even though it broke me.

Shari
>>129812902

Ditto… first tears streaming was with the father son talk and hug. Then in the diner… and then at the end. This is why I KNEW I could not see it in a theatre.. I’m an ugly snotty, red eye, puffy eye cryer. Even knowing the basic premise of the film… the ending… broke me completely. 😭😭. Was not expecting that. A lot has been made of Paul and Scotts characters in the movie… but Claire Foy and Jamie Bell not as much and they were beyond incredible. They had just as much screen time and had some of the most devastating and lovely scenes. Bravo to everyone! Must go splash cold water on face now and watch something stupid.. my heart and head hurts Thank you for sharing this with us

Jennifer

Oh. This was amazing. I may never recover and my poor eyes hurt from crying, but so, so good. The acting was amazing, the cinematography was amazing… so good. I have a month of catch up to do and I decided to start with this movie?! Worth the aching heart and sore eyes. Virtual hugs and tissues to you guys. 😭

hjg

loved watching your reaction to this. would highly recommend watching andrew haigh's weekend as well if you haven't checked that out. such a talented filmmaker that i don't think gets as much love as he deserves.

lo !!

ahhhh this is my 3rd watch now and i'm still - and even more so - blown by it. this is easily one of my favourite movies to have ever been made. just so powerful - and to watch this after fellow travelers somehow feels like a continuation... idk a continuation of what yet, but my brain can't help but make connections and feel like 2023 just. gave us 2 of the best representation pieces of media ever. it explores intergenerational conversations so well.

Crystal Pritchard

Watching the beginning of the movie with Harry begging to come into Adam’s apartment is excruciating when you know the ending. I don’t think I’ll ever stop thinking about this movie….

Nikki Hearn

My. mind. is. blown. Soooo many emotions.... I'm rarely speechless and this personally was superb! I rate this extremely high, it's very close to my ranked #1 Fellow Travelers. It might be equal 1st...🤔 I'm extremely moved by this film, it just kept us guessing and wanting more! That's all I have to say....I'm done! We all watched it I don't need to add anymore but 🤯🤯🤯 Amazing! 👏 🤩

Nicky Anne

it’s cake batter that they used - much nicer than saltburn’s watered down yoghurt

Stian Kristoffersen

It's a beautiful movie, but so, so hard to watch. Had to take several breaks to recover because this hit a bit too close to home. You're right Alex! This is what ASWT is all about; Supporting each other and getting to be a part of a loving community who accepts you, understands you and loves you the way you are. Thank you!! You make life better! ❤️

MissIrene

Super hard watch in the cinema, but watching it again with you two was even more emotional. You are all loved ❤️

JayJay

I've had to wait until this week to go and see the movie in the cinema and it blew me away. I felt like I couldn't breathe on the way home. Don't know why I just put myself through the pain again but loved your reaction and the conversations you had throughout it❤️

Clash

Emotional rollercoaster, I have watched it twice now in 24hrs. I watched it on my own and sobbed and now just watched it with you guys and sobbed again. This representation wow, an amazing amazing film

b

this film really illustrates how to complete grief in a healthy way - finish the things that were unfinished with that person, even if only in your mind/by writing it out. articulate what has been lost and feel the weight of it, don't just push past it. and the next time you'll know that recovery is possible and you'll love more deeply and without fear of its eventual end.

Bex Kyde

Not to sound corny but I think this movie is so special bc is so human. The movie is about loneliness and grief and obviously being gay puts another layer to all of that, but it's not the problem. When Harry said "I know how easy it can be to stop caring about yourself" it broke me, it's so true and relatable and although so many people feel this way we still feel like we are completely alone in that. All of us strangers is a movie about loneliness, grief and love and I feel like anyone can connect w it.
