As ghostly parents, Jamie Bell and Claire Foy correct the past in ‘All of Us Strangers’
LA TimesIn “All of Us Strangers,” Claire Foy and Jamie Bell play parents reuniting with their grown son after a long absence — namely, their tragic deaths when their son was a child. In Andrew Haigh’s intimate emotional fantasy “All of Us Strangers,” Claire Foy and Jamie Bell play parents reuniting with their grown son Adam after a long absence — namely, their tragic deaths when Adam was a child. “The fantastical or spectral element, I’m never playing any of that stuff,” says Bell, sitting next to Foy recently at the Four Seasons in L.A. “They are just people who are alive and breathing, given this wonderful opportunity to correct some things.” Grief is already so mysterious a process that the way Haigh presents his scenario, it feels believable. I was like, “Come on, darling, get in the bed!” Bell: Usually you would mock the actor, like, “Oh you look ridiculous.” But I don’t think we ever did.
