A personal message from Andrew Scott on extending the free stream by a week to May 25: "We've been blown away by the response to Sea Wall and this is our way of saying "thank you" to everybody who's watched it and for all your amazing messages... Have a good day, we shall prevail! With Love, AS"
Yessssss! Andrew, thank you so much! I so want to see this again. My daughter Lucy and I saw you (several times!) after Present Laughter, and she thought this was you truly speaking for the first 10 mins or so. I had to pause it and explain to her that you were acting and had memorised the script! We then sat in silence, mesmerised. Absolutely spellbinding. Thank you.
Hi Andrew, I was lucky enough to see you perform this at The Old Vic in June 2018. It was incredible, and I just wanted to thank you for how much you continue to inspire me as an actor. Rob
The best acting is when you don't seem like you're acting. This nuanced performance was a Masterclass in 'best' acting. Cried buckets. Andrew Scott, I want to give you a standing ovation from my living room.
Devastatingly beautiful performance by Scott - he deserves all the accolades in the world for this. Best actor of our time. The writing is breathlessly beautiful and so thoughtfully destructive. Hats off - this is an Oscar-worthy piece of high art.
I’ve watched this twice today. Lost my dad to Covid, and my family continues to struggle in hospital and at home. Have not lost children, and the grief is different. But, my god, this is why art exists.
Andrrw is such a gentle soul, a GREAT actor, a fantastic human being. I love his voice, his accent, the way he talks, he moves his hands... He is always so passionate. We Can feel his pain, his joy, every feelings when he acts. I can surely say that he is one of the most talented actor in the World. And he is always so down on earth, so kind... This Is his what It makes him the special person he is. Hugs from Italy ❤
After a life time of teaching in drama academy, a lifetime of living and working in the theatre with my husband who was a extraordinary actor, I believe I can definetly recognise a superb actor! And such a good script and mise en scene. A real gift. Thank you both!!!
We continue to be astonished and humbled at the renewed response to the film, it's been beautiful to share it with old friends and new. I watched it again myself this morning, and still see and hear new things in it. Enjoy the rest of the #FREESEAWALL run. Simon & Andrew send their love and thanks.
I'm so grateful Sea Wall exists - sob story alert.... I first saw Sea Wall a couple of months ago, shortly after my husband died from cancer. We managed to bury him just before the lockdown, and I have since tried to cope with my own grief and that of my teenage children in formal isolation. Not easy, as you might imagine. I was not sure at first whether a play about grief would be the right thing for me to watch, but I bought it anyway, and have watched it many, many times since. To listen to someone describe exactly how I felt, and in a way that was as distracted, lost and empty as I felt, helped me so enormously I cannot begin to describe. The love, empathy and humanity both Simon and Andrew clearly have in spades has made me feel less isolated, and has consoled my broken heart. I have often thought, these past few weeks, of how I could ever thank them for writing and performing this piece of art that has relieved me at times from dwelling in my current personal hell. I wonder if you might be able to tell them that their wonderful work has helped someone through the darkest days of their life. I think they are both wonderful human beings. Thank you Simon and Andrew, so so much. xx
I’m touched you have taken the time to write this and I’ll make sure Simon & Andrew see it. That Sea Wall has helped you in a small way in recent weeks is truly wonderful to hear.
SeaWallAndrewScott Thank you so much for offering to share this with Andrew and Simon, that‘s amazing. It has actually helped me to write it all down, and to put into words what the play means to me, and I’m so glad you spotted my comment. Thanks again for making this available to everyone for free.
So we all cried right? We followed Andrew, through delightful anecdotes and asides, with a growing sense of dread , before being allowed to release that emotion by Andrew’s nuanced perform and a beautifully written script. This is, very much, art.
Thanks for all your lovely comments. It's been a delight to revisit Sea Wall, especially at this time and the response has been just as heartwarming as when we first released the film to coincide with the epic Sherlock Reichenbach Fall episode on 15 January 2012!
SeaWallAndrewScott Happy to have paid a couple of bucks to own this. Everything happening now has been the reason I’ve rediscovered my love of theater and stage performance. If this ever comes back to the stage with Andrew as Alex, when things are safer to enjoy, I promise I’ll be there.❤️
No wonder the response is heartwarming! I had seen the Andrew Scott interviews with Simon Stephens and knew, what was about to come, but it still broke my heart. Both last night and this morning, as I watched it again. It's so beautifully written, and Andrew Scott really can make the text come alive. Looks like he's not acting in a play but telling us about this terrible accident, that happened to his family. Now I'm running out of my English... and tears... Thank you so much for this!
And thats why once again Andrew Scott is one of my favourite actors, It was a slow build and then all the grief released but in a subtle way what a lifelike performance
What a beautiful film. My only son died over 30 years ago, but the hole is still there, it just gets easier to hide from view. Andrew Scott's performance is sublime.
I'm sitting in my car outside a supermarket rewatching Sea Wall. I just have to from time to time. I already stopped counting the times I've watched it. Andrew can always amaze my with his acting, he brightens up my world every single time and watching him do his "magic", as I like to call it, means the absence of pain to me. I thought a long time about writing something like this in this comment section, but I think it is appropriate here, as this wonderful piece of Art is about grief: I suffer from PTSD and severe depression as my father had a fatal accident similar to the one described in Sea Wall, although from a lower height. That's why it moves me so much, I think. My daughter, who was 10 yrs by the time, and I witnessed the accident, I tried to grab my father by his shirt and prevent him from falling but then lost grip and fell with him. I saw his head being speedend up and then smashing to the ground in slow motion making a strangely muffled sound and I can still hear myself screaming. It was only a matter of seconds, but seemed endless. To this day, I feel terribly sorry for my daughter that she had to see her beloved Grandpa like this and me, in shock losing it completely, shouting, screaming, crying, calling an ambulance etc. My father slipped into a deep coma and died four days later in hospital from severe brain hemorrhage, and finally brain death. "This injury is not compatible with life, we are sorry." That's what doctors say in such a situation. I received a "life-sentence" on that tragic day, I relived the accident everywhere you can imagine, day, night, in my sleep. I blamed myself, hated myself for not having been more attentive, for being distracted for some seconds, for not having grabbed him more tightly, for being the worst daughter you can possibly imagine etc. It was a downward spiral of self-loathing, regret and the ever returning question: "What if...?" My experience with grief is that it can be a very irrational thing. Crying at a funeral is "easy" compared to what awaits you in the following months and years, in my opinion. Sometimes I feared that it would completely consume me. You start doing strange things, like buying all the stuff the person that is not there anymore liked the most. My father loved his menthol cigarettes, Bitter Lemon and Fisherman's Friend. I have a ton of it in a drawer just to feel close to him😉...Okay, that's my story, never quite talked about it before (because no one really wants to hear about death, loss and deep grief that goes on for a long time). Sending much love to you all - and Thank you, Andrew and Simon ❤️...
This is better than any Oscar winning performance I have ever seen. This is acting. One man, one camera. When he put his hands to his face I remembered doing the same when grieving. At the time I wasn't sure why I was doing it. To keep from crying? To hide me tears? No, to hold it all in, to keep myself together. Powerful. Gut-wrenching. They can keep their Hollywood actors, give me London theater and it's actors any day.
I have been teaching acting for over 35 years. After watching this, I just want to send this to all my students and say "Just do this." Then I would retire.
I lost my wife almost a year ago now. Watching this - the writing and the performance capture how this kind of intimate grief feels so very well. The hollowness, the inability to process the enormity of the loss. Being at a complete loss as to what to do, how to react. My world, my life has been ended - like the character. Where you go from there is one of the hardest things to contemplate.
You broke me. You horrible, amazingly cunning man. You reached inside my heart and pulled pieces of dark bitter fear and made me look at them, closely. I am utterly spent from your hands shaking and your clever voice deftly weaving this pain into the air for us all to breath. The writing is sublime, but you Andrew, have done a stunning thing with the actual visceral core meaning of the words. I am in awe. Thank you.
I got swept up in the Priest horn storm last year and suddenly had to see everything Andrew ever did; I downloaded this in September and have been absolutely spellbound ever since. The play, the text itself opened new worlds of literary structure to me, how everything is so carefully built and morphs into this incredible powerful punch left me in true awe. And then the performance of course, I've seen people use the term "hypnotic" and that's exactly what it is, it's like he's dancing, slowly pulling you in and when you notice what's happening you're already so deeply invested in everything he has to say, that the story hurts thrice as bad. It's SO good!! True masterclass of acting and effective writing combined. So thank you for putting this up for free! I've been hounding friends and acquaintances to watch it, quite successfully too, they now understand what I was rambling about for months, but I'm generally happy that this is reaching more people now and moving them too. Again, thank you very very much.
The sea wall, as Alex describes it, seems to me like a symbol of the whole story. You swim in the warm sea, enjoying the wonderful sunshine and light, and suddenly, without any warning, you face this terrifying, deep, dark fall, that you never imagined there could be. As unbelievably sad and devastating the end of the film is, what I love most, is the beginning. Dear fellow watchers, just look at Alex/Andrew's face, his gestures and his movements, when he speaks of his family. He still makes me smile, despite all the pain, I have run out of tears. Simon, Andrew, all you guys behind this wonderful thing! Thank you for giving me this huge joy - joy for knowing the english language! Not perfectly, as you native speakers can see (my mother tongue is finnish, a language that nobody understands) but well enough to be able to watch this masterpiece. I have also enjoyed Simon and Andrew's discussions of it in RU-vid, they are so interesting, touching - and also such fun! Keep safe, everyone 💕
I honestly thought I wouldn't watch this, it didn't look like my cup of tea. Since it's Andrew Scott I had to give it a shot. I'm blown away by how good this is, masterclass acting.
First saw you in Foyle’s War and immediately thought ‘What a presence !’. Then Moriarty !! Ditto ! As a lifelong lover of Shakespeare (I am 78) Iwas very excited to hear that you were going to play him. I have seen many performances over the years and had at the top of my ‘table’ Mark Rylance who I saw at Bristol where I live in the 80s. Mesmerising! So I saved my pennies and came to the Pinter for a Saturday matinee and Mark fell off the top. Then Fleabag. And Present Laughter which my daughter took me to see. Now this. Words fail me ! When will be your Scottish king.
10 minutes before the end my laptop's battery was running out. I had to walk to the other room and plug it in. I just could not pause it, no way. So I walked to the bedroom quietly holding the laptop trying not to miss any word. The fastest and quieter way was to kneel by the bed and plug it in. So I did. I watched til the end kneeling and literally holding my breath. We live in weird times where we get to connect in even weirder ways. I am in my 40s and stubbornly despise social networking a bit. But internet? you tube? Sharing a comment maybe for once... this monologue draws a thank you to technology out of my mouth. Thank you. So beautifully written and so masterfully acted.
I have recently discovered Andrew Scott and have become enraptured by his on screen presence. I just watched this, knowing absolutely nothing about it besides the fact that Andrew is in it. I have not moved since it finished. Am completely undone. Beautifully written and acted, this is true art. Thank you for making it available to watch.
Truly incredible and moving performance. From the moment Alex mentions Lucy, I had a sinking feeling in my stomach that something was going to happen and yet his loss is still heart-breaking. Congratulations cast and crew, thank you for sharing this. Stay well #FREESEAWALL
Thank you for this. I just watched it for the first time and I completely understand Alex. I held my daughter when she dies. She was three days old. I walked around in shock and couldn't complete thoughts. She would have been thirteen this January. I still walk around with my hole. It may not be as large and I may be able to hide it better but I still live with it everyday. Thank you Andrew for your gut- wrenching but amazing performance. I cried, and will cry still, but this has left me with a sense of peace.
Andrew Scott's ability to convey the unspoken, the in-betweens, the unwritten with such clarity and feeling is truly a gift. Though this is about one specific kind of loss, Simon Stephens' words could be about any kind of grief. Thank you for sharing this with audiences again.
I lost my sister as a child, and my parents never wanted to really talk about it, not even all these years later. This piece has dug up emotions and feelings inside of me that I didn’t really know I still had. I’m sitting silently, absorbing what I have just watched, and the journey it has taken me on. It’s beautiful, and I’m so incredibly glad I was able to watch it.
I don't know what path I took in here to have this come up in my queue, but I will forever be grateful to the RU-vid bots for bringing it to me! I am gobsmacked...the most riveting theatre packed into 34:16 minutes ...it s just astounding. Everything...the writing, the performance...I only have a week to shout this link from the rooftops!
4 am and woken as usual.by my 15 year old sanctuary cat and i browse through my you tube after 59 days in" lock -down and i come across this " artistry" this force of acting that is Andrew Scott. The nuances of an Alex who cried all the time at ER , and is so consumed by grief of his only child his body won't give him that gift to cry. This was " just awesome " and probably best thing i watched in 59 days and counting of lock -down. Tu all involved. 🙏❤
@SeaWallAndrewScott : Thank you for this performance Andrew Scott. I experienced the sudden loss of a child and a husband in the last 8 years, experiences I never expected to encounter in my 20s...I watched my husband go into full system failure, and there was nothing I could do to save him ...I have coped well with the grief I believe, on the outside at least...but on the inside, its unfinished sentences and rambling memories. Like carrying around a glass ball inside of you, always terrified the next thought or action will be the one that shatters it, not knowing if when it does finally break will the shards spare you or sever. I saw my own daily internal monologue in this and it comforted me in a way that I didn't even realize I so desperately needed. Thank you for this.
That musing of where “God is” is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. That sob “Alex” lets out at the end, while imitating how “Helen moves around the house” now...what a gut-wrenching delivery by the force of nature that is Andrew💙Scott, in this breathtaking piece from S. Stephens.
I know I posted before, but I don’t do other social media, so this is my only way to express... Just saw Andrew’s special announcement; 1 more week for free, on YT -a generous gesture from everyone involved! A real delight to see that message from Andrew, he’s a beautiful man in every respect😍. I bought the film on Vimeo, but have been encouraging friends from all over Latin America & coast to coast US to watch this wonderful play on here (there’s a lot of love for it from everywhere.)
Andrew Scott is absolutely magnetic. I sat entirely silent and motionless for the entire half hour, virtually holding my breath under the weight of the emotion pouring out of him. Absolutely heartbreaking and genuinely beautiful
I watched this, knowing nothing about the play, just being a devoted fan of Andrew Scott. What a stunning performance. And what is astonishing is how, from the nuances of Andrew's acting, and the gathering power of Simon's words and imagery and the way the words jump around, so very realistically, and you realize more and more how disturbed and wracked with emotion the speaker is..... and suddenly a terrible feeling of dread comes over you, I don't even know why or how, it was like a profound primal force, and you know something dreadful will happen, and then it does, in a cascade of words and grief and pain. The power and beauty of Andrew's performance is riveting. What a wonderful experience. Thank you, Simon Stephens and thank you, Andrew Scott.
I can't stop watching this production. I try to work out how Andrew created some of his movements and how instinctively his voice changes pace, lowers, gets louder and pulls the viewer into his world. He is brilliant. The script is brilliant.
Watched this three times in 36 hours. Completely florored by Andrew's performance. The intensity, the nuances, the emotions. Totally gut wrenching and beautiful. Thank you for making this avaliable.
Have to just state that Andrew Scott is a performer/artist who will go down in history of one of the very best! I'm glad I'm around to be enveloped in his story telling/character protrayals - he is one of a few greats!
It's astounding to me in the midst of this world wide tragedy, to realize how essential the arts are to the survival of humanity. Thank you for this fine performance of a beautiful play.
What a powerful video/film. I happened to randomly come across this today on Twitter where it had been shared by Neil Patrick Harris. I’m so glad I did. A couple of days ago was the anniversary of the death of a much loved family member. I was determined not to grieve because I thought I wouldn’t be able to stand it, but I was wrong. People NEED to grieve in whatever way works best for them. Thank you to all who had a part in this. I needed it, and I can tell from the comments, a lot of other people did too. Such a great performance and story. Now I have to go throw away my many tissues 😪. ♥️♥️
To this day one of my favourite performances of all time. I bought it a while back and still watch it all the time. (Makes me cry every time) It always leaves me thinking about it for a long time after watching it. Andrew, you have such natural acting that is so interesting and captivating to watch. I will always be a massive fan. Thank you! ☺️
Not once did I skip forward. Which is surprising because I always skip if there’s a quiet part for more than 2 seconds. He is completely amazing and I can’t help but admire his exquisite talent and the way he just captures and locks your attention to where you can’t see or hear anything but HIM. It’s beautiful and chaotic at the same time and I can’t do anything but love it. Absolutely astonishing.
This is so wonderful. I saw Andrew Scott in the 2018 production at the Old Vic and was mesmerised. It is just as captivating and heartbreaking to see again. Scott is superb. Truly and incredible and unforgettable actor.
I came here as an Andrew Scott fan but this movie, nay, masterpiece, has just made me redefined my perception of life. And being French myself just makes it so... real ! Huge bravo to the writer and Andrew Scott who just put his entire heart and soul in this moving text perfectly written... Thank you from the bottom of my crying heart for putting it online, really 🤍
Thank you Simon Stephens and Andrew Scott for creating this beautiful and deeply moving film. During these last few weeks I've watched a fair amount of drama being streamed by various theatres and can safely say that this has been one of the finest performances I've seen. Absolutely phenomenal! Thank you too for extending the free stream by a week thereby giving us viewers the chance to rewatch it a couple of times. With sincere thanks and gratitude from across the miles in Germany.
Thank you. I'm just sitting here in the quiet after it ends and reading the comments and just appreciating the quiet, it's almost comforting. I don't want to break this silence. The story draws you in even if the topics change, and it connects. I wanted to pause the video at one point to think more about a line and I didn't because I didn't want to mess up the flow of the scene. Thank you so much for making this available.
I've seen this twice now. I must see everything Andrew Scott worked in and everything he does in the future. Simon Stephens' writing is incredibly vivid and authentic. I don't think a piece of theatre has affected me as much as this one. Congratulations to you both.
Just like everyone says Andrew Scott is incredible; the same talent that could blow the roof off last year in Present Laughter can do this quiet beautiful playlet- amazing. Thank you for the viewing
I have watched this masterful piece four times and it’s a novel experience every time. The breathtaking beauty of the human spirit is captured exquisitely in these 34 minutes. Watching this during The Great Pause has only added to its poignancy! Art can be so healing and sometimes it’s the only balm that soothes. And It will always be the Arts that will save us and shake us out of our collective dream that we are separate knowing we all share the life and death experiences. Andrew & Simon thank you for this magisterial portrayal of grief. I think I watched this and felt very convincible emotion in half an hour.
What an incredible performance. If I hadn't known better, I wouldn't have thought I was watching an actor. That was so natural, so real. Breathtaking. And one of the things that made it so real for me was the movement, and especially he way Mr Scott used his hands. A lot of actors - really good ones, too - seem to have trouble with hand gestures, they look stiff and artificial. Every gesture made in 'Seawall' was so natural; added huge depth and pathos. Absolutely brilliant - and that goes for the writing, too. That wasn't a speech, it was speech. There's a huge difference, and I think Mr Stephens captured it perfectly. Bravo!
Absolutely breathtaking..how we grieve, a bit at a time so we don't drown, how we seek to understand and make sense of the loss and the pain. Thank you for sharing this ♥️
I now also have a hole in my stomach. Amazing performance by this wonderful actor. Wonderful writing - I highly recommend to watch this whilst it is out there. Thanks so much for streaming this at this very poignant time.
Wow! This was incredible to watch. Just when I thought I couldn't admire Andrew Scott more, I see this. He truly is one of the best actors of our generation. What a treat. Thank you so much for making this available to anyone in the world. Lots of love from Argentina ❤️
Wow. I've been waiting to see this for ages. MASSIVE fan of Andrew Scott. He is absolutely amazing of course. Totally absorbing and the raw emotion is incredible. Phenomenal script and 3 of us watched it in complete silence! Brilliant!
Andrew Scott thank you, love all your work, thank you for this!! Just love your charisma and confidence, this is just amazing Seawall, a beautiful piece, thank you!!
oh my...the writing the acting the writing the acting...that was really a beautifully done piece. Deep exhale as i leaned in so close to my screen to hear and see your every word and every move and every moment.
The people who don't believe in the power of words must watch this. These are just word, and acting, and... It's absolutely unbelievable what it can do to me, I'm literally crying right now. Andrew is an amazing actor, I already knew it but the text... Wow, my English is not good enough to express all the things I feel. But I want the creators to know that I'm so thankful for this. It's truly amazing
this piece is completely and utterly beautiful. there's something beautifully jarring about it that just makes you realise what little we have in life we must cherish. we must cherish and take care of each and every part of our lives, because we never know when they could be stolen from us. they could be stolen at any moment, at any pace, over any period of time. they could be stolen all at once, or bit by bit until nothing is left but a hollow space inside of us. this is what this piece makes me feel. i applaud Mr Stephens and Mr Scott for their tremendously stunning work. thank you for telling this story of appreciation.
Just the most amazing acting and writing I think I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. I soon forgot I was sitting in my living room watching my computer, and truly felt I was overhearing a man tell his story. A priveledge to watch!
I'm so in love with the play and with Andrew Scott's interpretation of it! Even though I've watched it on Broadway twice and almost remembered the lines, I'm crying my eyes out (again and again) and believe every second of it. Thank you! Thank you so much for this heartbreaking, but terrific experience! Andrew Scott is truly one of the most astonishing actors living!
I saw this at The Old Vic in 2018. Earlier in the year I had been quite ill, more serious than I realised at the time. Sea Wall had a profound impact on me at the time, as did the acting of one of the greatest actors of his generation. I was thrilled to see this film pop up and have subsequently bought it. Congratulations to you all and thanks for sharing this for us all to enjoy.
I watched first few minutes and I stopped. The way Andrew speaks, is eyes and facial expression is real and drawing my attentions. I was afraid somehow, to continue. But I decided I should finish the whole performance. The emotions was building up so deeply and I was holding my breath. I can see through Andrew’s eyes and literally see what his character sees. The sound, the touch and color...and at the end I feel everything fell, dropped to the floor. I think my emotions was picked up and lightly dropped to the floor. Cold floor. I am glad I watched this performance, knowing so much actually a performer can do...! Thank you so much for posting!
Wow, I was surprised by how much this resonated. The feeling of what he goes through is something I wouldn't wish on anyone but there's some comfort in knowing you aren't going mad when this process happens to you. Incredibly spot on!
Andrew, the manner you handle silence is just absolutely perfect; your outstanding performance literally left me breathless (and probably dehydrated as well due to all the sobbing). Beautiful and heartbreaking film (written, directed, performed) Thank you all for sharing this wonderful piece of art with the world during this otherwise impossible times; & greetings from Buenos Aires!
Just watched this again. It doesn't lose any of its power. I have a daughter called Lucy and just had to go and hug her. My heart goes out to anyone who has had to cope with what Andrew so heartbreakingly portrays. Life is so precious and this piece is a powerful reminder that it can be gone in a second. Thank you so much for streaming this. x
There are no words to describe the power of this beautiful, painful play and the humanity of Andrew Scott’s performance. All I can say is Thank You both for giving us this gift at this difficult time in our lives.
Oh my God. This is absolutely amazing. Andrew is a fabulous actor and I’m completely blown away by his performance. Being able to deliver something this long and heartbreaking with such passion I- I’m seriously amazed.
If I had seen this at the theatre, finances and geography would have meant I could only have seen it once. I only expected to watch it once on here (as a parent I admit I shy away from any stories concerning children coming to harm) but, though I found the acting mesmerising, I found my first watch of the film left me with so many questions. I would have left the theatre knowing I had seen something great but having missed so many things. Maybe I'm particularly obtuse but by the time I had worked out who all the different characters were and which one was speaking, I had missed so much. Then on my second watch the constant references to the existence of God and the only reference to Helen's reaction preoccupied me. Third watch - "Oh my God! Detective fiction! That wasn't just going off at a random tangent!" Now the free stream has been extended, I may be able to write a thesis on it by the end. It breaks my heart every time but what incredible, thought-provoking acting and writing. Thank you for making its beauty accessible to everyone.
I've always admired Andrew's acting talent. He's putting so much emotion into everything he's doing. This video here proves yet again how much he can do and make people feel without any props or anything, but with just himself. My father died 2016, cancer. The cancer only needed 3 months... He died shortly after his 50th birthday. We all thought he'd decided to go before it because he always joked about never wanting to become 50. Anyways, I had to watch him get worse, day by day. In the end he wasn't even himself anymore, bis own personality changed completely. He died holding my mom's hand, asking her if he's allowed to go now. What I want to say is that I always have the images stuck in my head of him suffering and completely changing. I, too, have this whole through the middle of my stomach that Andrew / Alex described. Watching this video, it made me feel so understood. It's always terrible to lose a beloved person. Andrew is an incredibly talented actor and this video has seriously made me feel so understood and it felt really good to allow all of my emotions to get out and just let the tears roll. Thank you so much, I needed this.
What a beautiful and moving experience...! That sob when Alex makes when he refers to Helen walking around their house (at 30:30) made my heart ache. It was truly mindblowing performance. Hats off for Andrew and for the writer as well. Thank you.
