Our humanity is born out of an unending odyssey of processing grief and memories. ALL OF US STRANGERS captures this thesis with heart and intensity, culminating in a tragic final act to an already sorrowful narrative. Mescal and Scott deliver powerful and heartfelt performances, making it undoubtedly one of the best films this year. #mqff #mqff33

The dry and bleak romance depicted in the films of Ira Sachs almost feels like a narrative necessity for exploring insecurities in relationships. PASSAGES follows an unconventional love triangle with a confused, somewhat narcissistic character at its centre. Harrowing and whimsical at the same time. #mqff #mqff33
