I'm posting this mainly dispel something that another reviewer posted. They said that the movie's timeline doesn't make sense, that the scenes with the parents were "supposed to be" in the early 2000s, but they looked like the 80s.
That would be because they were: "Always on My Mind" by the Pet Shop Boys came out in the fall of 1987, and we hear a DJ say that it's #4 on the charts in the Christmas scene. Also, when he's writing his script about his parents, the type says, "INT. SUBURBAN HOUSE, 1987"
Andrew Scott is 47. If we suppose that Adam is the same age, then Adam was born in about 1975. 1975 + 12 (his age when his parents died) = 1987.
