Three Strangers Standing Before Me


I was lucky enough to see Andrew Haigh's All of Us Strangers a third time last night as part of MoMA's annual "Contenders" series, and I was even luckier for Haigh to be there along with his actors Andrew Scott and Jamie Bell for a Q&A after the screening. If there's one thing that all of the recent Q&As I've attended have made clear is actors have been DYING to talk about their movies -- an activity which had been delayed due to the Hollywood strikes -- and their enthusiasm levels are off the charts at these things. 

And that couldn't be more true than it was with three three fellas last night -- not that they don't have reason to beam anyway, given what a masterpiece they've given us with this movie. (Here is my review if you missed it.) I began crying approximately two minutes into last nigt's re-watch and didn't stop once. Anyway I took some photos and several videos of the Q&A and I will share them below -- that said they discuss spoilery things about the movie therein so don't watch these if you haven't seen the movie or at least, I guess, read the book it's based on. If you don't know what the movie is about I really recommend going in with the freshest eyes you can. Now hit the jump for the good stuff...

Saw Saltburn yesterday. It was even better than expected. Cannot wait to see it again.

I don't 'get' Andrew Scott. He always looks sweaty and drunk/hungover.
