There seems to be a full plate for competence in All of Us Strangers by Andrew Haigh. It is adapted from Taichi Yamada's 1987 novel "Strangers" though Haigh gives mere focus only a certain part of it as opposed to the entire book. All of Us Strangers offers a multi-layered story featuring themes on solitude, modern-age life, queer culture and scars from the past. Adam and Harry create a bond with uneven metaphysical romance which underline as well as provoke childhood trauma, unrecruited love, loneliness, and grief but only on metaphorical dimensions. I was unable to overcome the prevailing sense of artificiality in the script's layout despite watching the film twice.
The film overall provides more ambiguity than insight; more formulated scenes than internalized character studies. Everything is there along with an undeniable sense of half-cooked movie.

Truly original movie with a potential to become a cult classic. Beautifully acted and executed it keeps you on the edge with suspense and almost surrealism. There are so many side stories unfolding including inner complexes and complexities of the two leads and social cultural climate underlying. It sets a wonderfully fresh optics to the road story movies. The Spanky part of the Route 66 till the bitter end deserves honest debate on humans' treatment of animals as well as the entire circus business. This boutique movie proves once again that Jacob Elordi is a real cinematic gem. Zachary Quinto is also a very actor and brilliant again in this movie.
Christopher Nolan's latest masterpiece, Oppenheimer narrates the most horrifying historical truth and an exceptional scrutiny. Robert Oppenheimer acts under a purely genius mind to build the atomic bomb, focusing merely on theory with paying almost no attention to the deadly consequences. In the aftermath of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki apocalypse, he makes his best to clear his conscience. Oppenheimer stands out as one of the most important films of this season. There may be a single flaw comes along with Nolan's choice of nonlinear story telling which mixes the power of the catharsis effect. Nevertheless giving Christopher Nolan's filmography, we are lucky to have such brilliant director following the paths of Kubrick.
