From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.With a reputation for being one of the most moving films of the year, All of Us Strangers explores grief, queer love and loneliness in 105 minutes of drama that’s both tense and traumatic.
Although it was overlooked for an Oscar nomination, it received a lot of attention from movie critics and a host of five-star reviews. One film expert called it “a hypnotic story of love and loss”, while others summed it up as being “deeply affecting” and “achingly tender”.
Cinema-goers could often be seen sobbing as they left screenings after falling in love with Andrew Scott (who plays the main character, Adam) and watching him navigate the death of his parents (Claire Foy and Jamie Bell). The film follows Adam, a lonely screenwriter who meets neighbour Harry (Paul Mescal), embarking on a relationship that changes his life. Adam begins to confront his childhood and learns more about himself as he sees visions of his parents. He’s able to talk to the younger versions of his parents and address his sexuality and the stigma surrounding it.
Whether you missed the film when it hit the cinemas in January or loved it so much you want to revisit it for a second (or third) time, here’s how you can watch it at home, from the comfort of your sofa. You may need a big box of tissues on standby.
