Andrew Haigh is a British film director and screenwriter known for intimate, character-driven dramas such as Weekend (2011), 45 Years (2015) and Lean on Pete (2017).

Reviews on DeBaser cover Haigh's Estranei (All of Us Strangers) and Charlie Thompson (Lean on Pete). Lean on Pete premiered at the Venice Film Festival and its young lead (Charlie Plummer) won the Mastroianni Award for Best New Actor (as noted in a DeBaser review).

DeBaser reviews praise Andrew Haigh for intimate, character-driven films that probe memory, family ties and solitude. Estranei (All of Us Strangers) is noted for its mediumistic/paranormal framing and emotional impact. Charlie Thompson (Lean on Pete) is celebrated as a road/coming-of-age drama with strong photography and soundtrack.
