In a near empty London tower block, screenwriter Adam has a chance encounter with a neighbour, Harry, disrupting the rhythm of his everyday life. As their relationship develops, Adam finds himself drawn back to his childhood home, where a strange discovery prompts him to reflect on his life. Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal deliver extraordinary performances in this heartbreaking exploration of love, grief, and loneliness by award-winning writer-director Andrew Haigh (45 Years, Weekend).

Nominated for 6 BAFTA Awards, including Best Director and Outstanding British Film of the Year.

Reviews

‘Haigh and his cast, including Paul Mescal as Adam’s new lover, give this film about loss, enduring love and hope for the future such truth and poignance that it is easily among the best of the year.’
★★★★★
Caryn James, BBC

‘The film is heroically unabashed about the power of love, expressed through extraordinary photography (by Jamie D Ramsay, who lifted Living), and a quartet of stars bouncing off each other to hit stratospheric acting highs. It shimmers, and it aches.’
