At the New York Film Festival, a sluggish fall movie season seeks a higher gear

and Frederic Wiseman's “Menus-Plaisirs Les Troisgros" — all which exceed 200 minutes.

Andrew Scott plays a middle-aged screenwriter, Adam, struggling over a script about his parents, who died when he was young. “All of Us Strangers” is almost as cloistered in his near-vacant apartment building as “Youth” is its dormitories. Adam is the only occupant except for another man, Harry , who turns up at his door drunk one night.

“All of Us Strangers” is a film you're likely to hear plenty more about. Scott, the terrific “Fleabag” actor, gives such a soulful performance that he's sure to join the Oscar race. But it almost does a film like this a disservice to draft it into awards chatter. It's an aching, unshakeable beauty.
