Aftersun
Directed by Charlotte Wells
Sophie reflects on the shared joy and private melancholy of a holiday she took with her father twenty years earlier. Memories fill the gaps between camcorder footages as she tries to reconcile the father she knew with the troubled man she didn't. From TMDB

60 of 243 · most liked firstWatched Aftersun last night. I am finding it very hard to articulate what that film did to me. I found it perfectly engaging and actually quite gentle until the end, when it did something I can't really properly explain. Afterwards I was left dazed and profoundly moved.

neutral · AI labelView post →We saw "Aftersun" last night and loved it. It's not for everyone; it's a quiet and meditative film in which some events seem to unfold in real time. But it goes deep into elusive human emotions about time, memory, suffering, and coming of age, and young actress Frankie Corio is a marvel.

The Quiet Girl - Tender and heartbreaking. The Fantastic 4 - My favorite superhero movie this year. #LastFourWatched #letterboxdfriday #letterboxd #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →There’s always a movie I forget. Mad Max: Fury Road. Take out Aftersun (love it, but c’mon)
positive · AI labelView post →This would pair beautifully with Charlotte Wells' AFTERSUN (2022), another writer-director's autofictional feature debut that wrecked me, another film in which memory and fiction form a moebius strip. Hopefully both Wells & Sophy Romvari get to make more feature films.

neutral · AI labelView post →Wow, the film Aftersun (on TVNZ+) is amazing and quietly heartbreaking. Best film I've seen in ages. Featuring Paul Mescal.
positive · AI labelView post →In honor of his birthday, amazing how at 29, Paul Mescal has earned: -An Oscar nom for only his first lead role in a movie (AFTERSUN) -An Emmy nom/BAFTA win for his TV debut (NORMAL PEOPLE) -Olivier win for his West End debut (A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE) This guy's the real deal!!!

positive · AI labelView post →Gave Aftersun a watch last night. Probably the most memorable movie poster I’ve seen during my commutes in London so far. I’m in my head about it a bit because it’s a really interesting interpretation of the relationship between a father and a daughter. I’m pretty impressed by how it made me feel.
