One night in his near-empty tower block in contemporary London, Adam has a chance encounter with a mysterious neighbor Harry, which punctures the rhythm of his everyday life. As a relationship develops between them, Adam is preoccupied with memories of the past and finds himself drawn back to the suburban town where he grew up, and the childhood home where his parents appear to be living, just as they were on the day they died, 30 years before.

It’s terrific.

If [Haigh’s] previous films have felt like mere renderings of their scripts, this one is a genuinely cinematic experience.

Scott is the one subtly shouldering the storytelling. Even if you’ve seen his theater work or some of his deeper cuts on British TV, his work in this moving tale about the power of love still feels like a revelation.
