Paul Mescal (Normal People, Aftersun) and Andrew Scott (Fleabag, the Old Vic’s Present Laughter) star in this powerfully moving drama from director Andrew Haigh (Weekend, 45 Years). Adam (Scott) is isolated in a new build tower block, trying to write a script that probes his troubled childhood. When sole neighbour Harry (Mescal) knocks on his door looking for companionship, he’s rebuffed by Adam. But soon they will be led on a metaphysical trip into memory that creates a unique and heart-breaking connection.
One of the year’s best reviewed films and adored by festival audiences, Haigh’s drama features an incredible dual performance from its leads, backed by Claire Foy and Jamie Bell. An intimate and profound tale of uncommon perception about grief, ageing and the particular experiences of a generation of gay men.
