By far and away, my favorite hidden gem of the month is All of Us Strangers. Andrew Haigh’s intimate romance follows lonely writer Adam as he falls for his enigmatic neighbor Harry while reckoning with the ghosts of his past. Blending the supernatural with the romantic, what begins as a love story evolves into a gut-wrenching meditation on grief and the importance of being valued. If you only have time for one hidden gem, this is the one to watch.
