Scott scores another international breakthrough with a buzzy performance in the acclaimed queer sci-fi drama “All of Us Strangers.”
Andrew Scott will always be “the hot priest from ‘Fleabag,’ ” the 2018 British comedy series that put this accomplished Irish actor on the map.
Now Scott, out since a 2013 newspaper interview, scores another international breakthrough with a buzzy performance in the acclaimed queer sci-fi drama “All of Us Strangers.”
Set in a nearly empty apartment building, “Strangers” is a dark night of the soul as Scott’s character Adam visits his 12-year-old self meeting his long-dead parents, and has sex with the only neighbor (Paul Mescal).
“Strangers” is written and directed by Scotland’s Andrew Haigh whose “Weekend” examined a gay couple’s first 48 hours together.
For “Strangers” Haigh adapted a Japanese novel he’d read years earlier. “I could not get something out of my head: meeting your parents again after they were out of your life,” he said in a virtual press conference with Scott.
