Hey,
What's remarkable about this film is not only what's in it, but – just as importantly – what isn't. What isn't in it is the usual genre drippings that gives everything away.
A gay TV scriptwriter lives alone in an apartment in a building with few tenants although one tenant – a young gay man – appears at his door suggesting that they get together. The writer turns him down and after awhile, the writer goes to visit his deceased parent's house and sees his parents inside. This is where the film gets good.
What I liked about this film is that it isn't what you're thinking it is.
It keeps evolving. I'd love to spill the beans, but where's the fun in that.
Written and directed by Andrew Haigh based on the novel Strangers.
Starring Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Jamie Bell and Claire Foy.

Parts of it did not interest me so I fast forwarded through them. Sue me.
But the rest of it was fascinating, beautifully acted, and artistically presented. I was so afraid it would go off the rails but it absolutely did not. The question wasn’t so much what was going on as it was the degree to which it was going on. That actor Andrew Scott really has the movie star charisma, I think. Claire Foy and Jamie Bell I know and admire from other productions, but this guy was new to me. I will be on the lookout for him
in the future.

Iirc, the comments during its recent "virulence" centered around how he
makes sense of the famous dialogue rather than delivers it. (I agree.)

You are talking about Hamlet, aren’t you? You haven’t seen the movie, have
you? Well, it is an exceptionally well crafted, poetically imagined film
that just isn’t for everybody.
