The film will eventually be available to stream on Hulu, which is where all of Searchlight Pictures’ films are currently available to stream after their theatrical releases and in exclusive VOD windows.

More Movies Like ‘All of Us Strangers’ That You Can Stream Right Now
To help you out while you wait for your local theater to screen this intimate indie drama, check out these three other films about the complex relationships between children and their parents.
Petite Maman - French director Celine Sciamma may be most famous to international audiences for her romantic period drama, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, but her follow-up film, Petite Maman, deserves just as much, if not more, attention and praise. Following an introspective and emotionally intelligent eight-year-old girl named Nelly, the film begins soon after she loses her beloved grandmother. She and her parents subsequently return to her mother’s childhood home, and she begins to explore the house and the surrounding woods. When her mother suddenly disappears, Nelly meets a girl her age in the woods and the two build a treehouse. Without giving too much away, Sciamma skillfully crafts an intimate story that shows what would happen if we stopped seeing our parents as authority figures and started seeing them as vulnerable human beings.
Pain & Glory - It’s safe to say that Pedro Almodovar is one of the most prolific directors working today with legendary works including Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, All About My Mother, and Parallel Mothers. It is therefore no small feat that Pain & Glory has become one of his most renowned films. Inspired by his own life, the film follows Salvador Mallo, an aging gay filmmaker who begins to reflect on his life, his work, and his early life with his mother, who did everything she could to make sure he could rise from his humble beginnings in a Valencia village to stardom. Featuring two of his best actors, Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz, Almodovar’s most personal film is deeply insightful and engrossing.
The Tree of Life - After making a series of nonfiction epics like The Thin Red Line and A New World, American auteur Terence Malick gave audiences a deeply moving, but deeply personal epic about a dysfunctional family in The Tree of Life. Set in Texas in the 1950s, the film follows the eldest son in this traditional American family as he navigates life from childhood to adulthood. Years later, when he tries to reconcile with his father, he begins to contemplate their complicated relationship and the mysteries of the modern world. Not only did this film win several Oscar nominations, it also introduced the world to the immense talent of Oscar-winner Jessica Chastain.
