Sitting in a darkened room snivelling, cheeks wet with tears and nose streaming is a terrible way to spend a night, right? Well not always… especially not if you’re in the cinema and you have just had your heart wrung and mind blown. And forget the stigma around crying in public – fellow audience member scorn be damned, blubbing away may even be good for you.
Watching the BAFTAs last week, I was reminded of exactly this experience as clip after clip of All of Us Strangers teased each of its six nominations including for Outstanding British Film, and acting nods for the wonderful Andrew Scott, Claire Foy and Paul Mescal.
