Andrew Haigh

Director

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.

For:Viewers of intimate, character-driven dramas; arthouse cinema fans; those interested in films about memory, family and solitude.

 

the greatest merit I assign to "Estranei" (original title "All of us strangers") by British director Andrew Haigh is its ability to stage, with the greatest possible effectiveness, a complex story that can be classified as mediumistic or paranormal, keeping the viewer's attention well awake.
