I don't care what other people say. I really like Brie Larson as an actress and I hope she continues with her career❤.

Andrew Scotts performance in All of us strangers was extraordinary brilliant and so underrated by Award season that it still hurts.

lessons in chemistry blew me away! she is such an incredible actor

As a fan of both actors, it's pretty cool to see that Variety paired them together and talked about their passion on their work so beautifully. I love "Ripley" and "Lessons In Chemistry" so i'm glad for this pairing. I hope to see their names in the Emmy nomination next month 🤞

She has admitted to having severe anxiety and to fight through that and follow a dream to be an actor...that takes great bravery...I admire her...❤

Andrew Scott was incredible as Jim Moriarty in Sherlock

It’s bad enough to dislike someone that you don’t know. It’s even worse to confuse them with the characters that they play.
And don’t even get me started on how the Brie Larson hate was just sexism over the fact that her character really was a “strong woman” and not just *ss and t*ts in spandex catering to some incel fantasy.

Brie Larson was criticized for her communication skills during interviews when she's at Marvel yet here she is already have an excellent chemistry with Andrew Scott in both talking about what they love about their work. So that's absolutely amazing for both of them, glad that Brie looks comfortable enough in this interview, you can tell Andrew is a charming guy for making this conversation worked with Brie. Respectful and be kind 🤗

I saw Andrew last year in Vanya, and he is the highlight of my life. I'm so happy he's getting the attention and recognition he deserves. So talented and charismatic <3

This was such a captivating interview. I learned so much about the process of their craft - they were both so insightful and offered new insights about the film/TV making process. It's interesting how they highlighted that acting is one part the thing you do as a character in front of a camera and one part being able to talk about what you did later to promote, sell, generate interest. I think both of them being naturally shy and introverted made them more comfortable around each other, and made me feel for them in the times they've had to do that second part of an actor's job. I watched because I already loved loved loved both of them; I leave loving both of them even more. Thank you to Variety for bringing these two together. <3

Brie Larson is one of the finest and best actresses. I don't care about the hate she is getting for the role of Captain Marvel. She performed great in this role. And also in Lessons in Chemistry, she was fantastic. Couldn't imagine anyone else for these roles. Biggest fan of her❤.

I remember Brie was skewered by the comic book fans for Captain Marvel but maybe that just wasn't her crowd. She shines in more serious, intellectual pieces like Lessons in Chemistry and of course Room which she won the Oscar for. Short Term 12 is an underrated film more people should watch!

Brie is so involved in her work, she is so passionate about what she does. ✨
She's so inspiring! I could listen to her talk for hours. 😍

So happy they got Brie on this series. Such a wonderful actress. "Room" remains firmly one of my all time favourite movies.

My condolences about your Mother @andrewscott...I lost my Mother in 2018 and we were very close...Grief heightens respect your bravery to continue under those emotions. ❤️🙏😇

Andrew Scott is such a talent, and it's so great to see he's finding such big success. Saw him in a show years ago in London, and met him afterwards, he's such a nice dude!
