Adam (Andrew Scott) is a lonely, sad man living alone in a vacant apartment building in London. Only, it’s not as vacant as he thought. Harry (Paul Mescal), another lonely tenant, reaches out. Adam, mired and perhaps comfortable in his grief, is hesitant to allow anyone in. But once he opens up to friendship and more, he has to start confronting the reasons he’s hidden himself away.
Adam’s parents passed away while he was still closeted and his grief is wrapped up in essential questions of identity and belonging. The way he works through his grief is unexpected and unconventional, but it packs an emotional punch. I should know: I cried like a baby coming home from the bar. Hot, fat tears and shoulder-wracking sobs that left me achy the next day. Sad but so, so good.
ASSHOLES WATCHING MOVIES 
I’m not sure if crying from a movie recommends it to me. Maybe at home. I guess it depends on my mood.

I like the sound of its power and the raw emotion behind it, for sure. But I’m already sad enough most of the time. Not sure if I could immerse myself in more. But probably will anyway. 🙂
