If it’s an award-winning masterpiece you’re after, this one’s for you. One night, in his near-empty London tower block, screenwriter Adam (the sublime Andrew Scott) has a chance encounter with one of his rapidly dwindling neighbours, Harry (Paul Mescal and his Northern English brogue), which derails the rhythm of his otherwise grief-tinged life. As their relationship develops, Adam is propelled back to his childhood home, where his parents (Jamie Bell and Claire Foy) appear to be living just as they were when they died 30 years prior. A beautiful anatomy of healing.
