We all went on holiday

 

Aftersun (2022)


Written & directed by Charlotte Wells this film stars Paul Mescal and Frankie Corio. A woman remembers a holiday to Turkey she took with her father when she was 11.


I love the way this film captures so many specific elements of a family holiday of the period, there are things many of us can relate to here. The coming of age element of the film also works well and the film does a good job of asking how well we really know our parents. Equal parts familiar and heart breaking.


4/5
