Directed by home-grown British director, Andrew Haigh, this beautiful film is a devastating look at one man's loneliness and grief, with brilliant performances from Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Claire Foy and Jamie Bell. 

One night in his near-empty tower block in contemporary London, Adam (Andrew Scott) has a chance encounter with a mysterious neighbour Harry (Paul Mescal), which punctures the rhythm of his everyday life. As a relationship develops between them, Adam is preoccupied with memories of the past and finds himself drawn back to the suburban town where he grew up, and the childhood home where his parents (Claire Foy and Jamie Bell), appear to be living, just as they were on the day they died, 30 years before.

Moving and original, this film is not to be missed!

"This deeply personal portrait of newfound love and a traumatic past, starring Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal, is an emotionally wrenching masterpiece" - 5 stars, The Guardian
