All of Us Strangers
Why this pick
Andrew Haigh again builds intimacy through quiet conversations, tentative touch, and aching solitude; its romantic connection carries the same delicate attention to what people struggle to say.
03
Keep the Lights On
Why this pick
An emotionally candid, character-first portrait of gay intimacy and self-protection, with the same patient, naturalistic willingness to let attraction become complicated vulnerability.
04
The Way He Looks
Why this pick
Gentler and more youthful, but similarly precise about the small shifts of trust, desire, and self-recognition that make an emerging relationship feel momentous.
05
Being 17
Why this pick
A tactile, unsensational drama of two young men moving from friction toward connection, grounded in everyday details rather than heightened romantic convention.

01 / THE STORY
A (sort of) love story between two guys over a cold weekend in October.
On a Friday night in Nottingham, Russell attends a house party with friends. He assures his best friend Jamie that he will be there on Sunday for his daughter's birthday. Russell leaves early, but decides to go to a gay club, alone and looking for a Hookup culture. Just before closing time he meets Glen, an art student, and they have sex back at Russell's apartment. The next morning, Glen coaxes a hesitant Russell to speak into a voice recorder about their experience the previous night. Glen tells him this is for an art project. The more reserved Russell is taken aback by Glen's blunt discussion of sex. After Russell finishes, they exchange numbers and Glen leaves. Russell is shown writing about Glen on his laptop, evidently something he does after each of his encounters.
