Claire Foy is no stranger to challenging roles. She's played Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown, fated Tudor queen Anne Boleyn in Wolf Hall, and astronaut Neil Armstrong's wife Janet in First Man. But All of Us Strangers, a haunting new romantic drama from director Andrew Haigh, is the first time she's played the mother of a man nearly a decade older than her.
In the film, Fleabag's Andrew Scott plays Adam, a screenwriter struggling to pen a script about his deceased parents, who were killed in a car crash when he was 12. Looking for inspiration, he returns to his childhood home in the suburbs and finds his parents (Foy and Jamie Bell) exactly as they were before their deaths. The trio begin to reconnect, slipping into old dynamics and chafing against lost time in equal measure.
