All Of Us Strangers review: No Oscar nod, but Andrew Scott is truly great in this orphan's tale that will move many to tears, writes BRIAN VINER


BRIAN VINER: Andrew Scott will not hold aloft the Oscar statuette for his dazzling performance in All Of Us Strangers. Indeed, the film was overlooked entirely in the Academy Award nominations.

The evening's presenter Edith Bowman, the former Radio 1 DJ, called the movie a masterpiece and credited him with one of the greatest displays of acting in modern times. Andrew Scott (centre) stars in All Of Us Strangers as Adam, a troubled gay man who meets the spirits of his deceased parents (played by Jamie Bell and Claire Foy) On TV he is watching Frankie Goes To Hollywood performing The Power Of Love, a recurring motif in the film and an indication both of his sexuality and the sentimental lure of the mid-1980s, for reasons we will come to understand.
