Oh I guess it's time for depression again lol. **spoilers for the ending below if the people reading the comments haven't watched it yet** I remember watching it in theaters and being so angry at the ending. The entire time I was so enthralled and then the ending felt so unfair, so cruel. With time removed I did get around to loving the ending. I think the whole thing works well if you think of it as a ghost story. Andrew Scott's might have been able to face the ghosts of his past, but it ended up being too late for Mescal's character. In the end, all Andrew can do is comfort the ghost of someone who drowned in that loneliness. I've been looking forward to a second watch and I'm curious to see how my thoughts about it will evolve upon rewatch.

This movie, I saw it in theatres when it came out and I still think about it all of the time. You know how some movies just burrow inside you and you can't let them go that's this movie for me. It spoke to so many different parts of me and my life. Andrew Scott is phenomenal, he is in every single scene and he's incredible, I find myself completely mesmerised and sucked in by his performance, he just makes Adam feel so real. Everyone else is great as well, Jamie Bell broke my heart multiple times. I love how you guys were questioning the logistics but didn't get hung up on it because you're right that's not the point of the movie. It's Adam working through his grief, pain, depression to find a way forward. Also while the ending is so sad we do see the growth in Adam from his parents helping him to move on to Adam being in the position to help Harry move on, so we know that he will be okay. I could talk about this movie and what it means to me for days I think, I'm glad you guys enjoyed. Also you're not the only people who went in expecting a romance and getting emotional trauma instead.

Bizarre but interesting writing- meeting your parents "as if" you had time travelled without aging....a twist on the older self meeting with, and giving advice to, the younger self

Man I feel like my soul was just put through a meat grinder. I had been meaning to get around to watching this, and boy am I glad I watched it with you guys and not alone in my room at 2am... Seriously though, I'm at a loss for words to describe how beautiful and crushing and haunting that was. I feel like this one is gonna stay with me for a while. Thanks to whoever bought this for you guys and thank you guys as well for the company !

You two definitely don’t disappoint as you both tend to be deep thinkers. That was evident in not just your words but emotions as you watched the story unfold. Even after multiple viewings shedding tears is inevitable.

I loved this movie the first time I watched it, and it is just as devastatingly great on a rewatch. So glad this was recommended.

Okay so now that I've watched your reaction I think the movie works even better on a rewatch. I still believe in my take that this is more of a modern ghost story than a construction in his mind. Not as in a spooky ghost story but more like a tale of lonely spirits of people who can't move on haunting the very empty building where they passed. I think your analysis of the movie works as well too but I guess I just like the poetry of Andrew Scott helping Paul Mescal move on the way his parents did for him. If it's only in Andrew's mind than I think that would be even more heartbreaking. I remember when Andrew Haigh the director first released Weekend, the feature that really got him noticed. It was like THE gay independant movie of that year that people were talking about and inspired a bunch of similar stories. I think what I like the most about his films is the vulnerability he manages to achieve with his actors. Be it the coming out scene between Andrew Scott and Jamie Bell that feels so real and lived in or even the sex scenes which feel so natural and intimate in a way that I don't often see in film. He also created the tv show Looking with Jonathan Groff which I remember being obssessed with in the mid 2010s. Thank you to whoever bought this one the rewatch really made me appreciate it fully.

This movie blew me away the first time I saw it. I can't believe how well it's done. Everything about his memories felt exactly like my childhood growing up in the 80s. I cry my eyes out every time I watch it.

Such a beautiful film, still one of my favourites. I saw this for the first time in a cinema, a few months after my mum died suddenly and it hit very hard. I couldn't imagine losing her at 12, before she got to know who I was and before I could come out to her. I love Adam and Harry's parts of the film but I understand how you connected more with the parents - I think some of their quiet conversations resonate more if you're queer whereas we pretty much all have parents so it's probably easier to connect with emotionally. I think everyone's incredible in this but I seem to always forget how much I enjoy Jamie Bell and then I see him in something like this and he just breaks my heart.

Such a very heavy movie but a very important one. We all go through life and sometimes we forget to be kind to each other. The loneliness is very more common than we think and i think unfortunately social media is making it worse, especially for older people. Take care of your parents/relatives/friends while you still have them and cherish them. Awesome and genuine reaction from you guys ! Thanks to whoever requested this beautiful and unique movie.

Youtalkingtome

Totally agree. This was beautiful in every single way. So many images and scenes from the film that I cannot stop thinking about.

I was blown away by Jamie Bell. I legitimately think he should have been nominated for an Academy Award for this performance.

Youtalkingtome

I absolutely agree. This is gunna stick with me for a long time. Andrew Scott needs more starring roles. He's phenomenal

I know the emotions are the core of the film but I also think it's just one of the best depictions of queerness I have seen. I am very picky about depictions of queer love and sex, especially since a lot of gay male love scenes in films involve two men grabbing each other violently and sort of smushing their faces together?? The awkwardness, the hands on the knees, it all felt so grounded. Specifically the shots with Paul Mescal looking up at Andrew as he wanders his way down south were soo beautifully shot and intimate. Paul Mescal has talked about that particular shot feeling very intimate to film. Just a gorgeous gorgeous film that I think teeters that line of being ambiguous without being difficult to follow or confusing very well.

Youtalkingtome

The whole movie felt incredibly intimate. Not just the relationship between the two of them. I found the best scenes of the film to be the quiet moments with his parents
