“They Say it’s a Very Lonely Kind of Life“: Queer Loneliness in Andrew Haigh’s <i>All of Us Strangers</i> (2023) and Francis Lee’s <i>God’s Own Country</i> (2017)

can be traced to Adam's loneliness, referencing queer temporality theory by Jack Halberstam and Eve Sedgwick. Finally, I follow Sara Ahmed's suggestion of queer loneliness as a generative emotion, re-appraising the depictions of loneliness in the films and arguing that, in the experiences of queer loneliness presented, loneliness allows new forms of connection to be made between characters.
