All of Us Strangers

Before the producer, like, shouts at me, A Long Winter, which, you know, I think is a strong film.

I think it perhaps isn't going to land, you know, I don't think it has quite the broad voter appeal that All of Us Strangers had, which, you know, really, really did do phenomenally well at the awards.

It's quite, it's a subtle film, but it's a really, I think, beautifully made film.

Oh.

If you say you love TV, I have this thing like you cannot love TV, like really love TV and not have watched Girls.

that is one of the most phenomenal pieces of brain by the way you can hate the show you can watch the show and hate it but it's your duty as someone who says I love it I'm a student of it you should have watched that show and so like that's my thing like you should have watched Portrait of a Lady on Fire by now you say you love yearning what are we doing it's only when it's straight couples you should have watched what was the Andrew Scott one is it called All of Us Strangers is that what it is I might have mixed it.

It's a gay couple.

I'm mixing movies up here.

i love that guy's story and i think you love that guy's story as well so that might be a big one that day so if i go if i'm so lucky if i go to tony gilroy movie 9 40 10 40 i guess i'll i guess i could hang around for yeah i could definitely hang around for the unknown perhaps and and then the final movie that day is the echo chamber Now let's get on to October 14th, A Long Winter by director Andrew Haig.

He's done The Weeknd, 45 Years, All of Us Strangers.

I have been mixed on his work, but certainly very interesting work.

And he featured the Whitgift Centre in Croydon in his last movie.

I think probably because it'll come out later on.

It's called A Long Winter, and it's directed by the same guy who directed All of Us Strangers.

Hmm.

The...

I mean, it's...

Okay, it's not Weekend, it's not 45 Years, it's not All Of Us Strangers.

So y- you know, lower your expectations a little bit.

You gotta meet it on its own terms.

You're actually selling that to me.

So we'll move on to All of Us Strangers on Disney+.

This is Trevor's pick this week.

[gentle music] Is this real?

-to make you feel the way you felt back there again.

Right.

All of Us Strangers on Disney+.

Uh, a lonely screenwriter meets a mysterious neighbor, and as their bond grows, Adam visits his old childhood home and finds his parents alive-

Mm-hmm.

And you also had Andrew Hay's All of Us Strangers.

Mm.

These are films in which sex is front and center.

And just a remarkable, remarkable performance by Andrew Scott.

I'm very happy because, as you know, I'm still holding a grudge against BAFTA for not recognizing Andrew for his role in All of Us Strangers.

But I think this is an even more... awards-worthy performance in some ways and maybe more digestible for voters to get their head around.

And I'm very happy to say I'm seeing a lot of the sort of U.S. pundits putting him on the best actor nom's, you know, prediction for Oscar race as well, which I think he deserves both.
