All of Us Strangers is one of the saddest, tragic movies I have ever seen. Spoilers inside obviously.

I gotta rant about this movie because the end of this movie really fucked me up with just how sad it is. Like it was so sad I think it honestly took away from my enjoyment of the movie. Just to summarize: Andrew Scott plays a lonely gay man, who is either fantasizing about his dead parents or hallucinating about his dead parents for the majority of the movie, but is seeing them and interacting with them as his adult self. Both him and his parents are seemingly aware that the parents are dead. It is revealed through these fantasies that they died when he was a boy from a car crash. Broken up by this in the real world are his interactions with Paul Mescal's character, who is another gay man that lives in his building. They meet due to Paul Mescal drunkenly knocking on Andrew Scott's door and forwardly flirting with him, which Andrew Scott politely denies. Most of the movie is either Andrew Scott interacting with his dead parents or Paul Mescal. They develop a cute relationship and this is most of the movie.

EXCEPT

Towards the end of the movie it is revealed through another strange fever trip of a fantasy or hallucination that Paul mescal's character WAS DEAD THE WHOLE TIME. He died literally directly after they met for the first time. MEANING that Andrew Scott's character has not only been fantasizing about his dead parents for the majority of the movie, but also just made up a relationshiop with a random man and is also fantasizing about that- who he later finds dead. This character has some serious trauma to work through and just seemed so lonely. Really just didn't like how sad that idea is tbh.

TL;DR Andrew Scott is just fantasizing about his dead parents and a made up relationship for the entire movie - turns out that guy is also dead. yay.
