Oscar nominee Paul Mescal dazzles in two new films.

After his starring role in the series 'Normal People' and an Oscar nomination, Irish actor Paul Mescal continues his rise in Hollywood with productions with opposing critical responses.

Irish actor Paul Mescal is at the height of his career, with roles in two films that have captured the attention of audiences and critics alike. The first, Foe, is an Amazon Studios dystopian drama based on the novel of the same name by Iain Reid. Mescal shares the screen with four-time Oscar-nominated actress Saoirse Ronan (Little Women). Set in the year 2065, the story follows a couple, Hen (Ronan) and Junior (Mescal), who receive a visit from a stranger (Aaron Pierre) with a proposition that could change their lives forever. It also raises questions about the nature of humanity and artificial intelligence.

His second project, All of Us Are Strangers, is a romantic film that explores love through time. He plays Harry, a mysterious neighbor who crosses Adam's (Andrew Scott) path. Directed by Andrew Haigh, the feature film focuses on how their relationship triggers a series of events that lead Adam to re-examine his past and his family. It also features performances by Jaime Bell and Claire Foy.

Both films offer Mescal the opportunity to demonstrate his versatility as an actor, moving from the futuristic genre to LGBTQ+ romance. In fact, with Foe, his character Junior faces ethical and moral dilemmas related to artificial intelligence and the hope for humanity. However, the proposal failed to please the international press and was harshly criticized prior to its release scheduled for October 6 in the United States.

On the other hand, for All of Us Are Strangers, his character Harry serves as a catalyst for Adam to explore his past and family relationships. In addition, the title debuted with a 97% critical rating.

These projects underscore Paul Mescal's growing prominence in the film industry.
