Charlotte Wells’ superb and emotional debut film
At a vacation resort, 11-year-old Sophie (Frankie Corio) treasures rare time together with her loving and idealistic father, Calum (Paul Mescal). Beyond Sophie’s eye, Calum struggles under the weight of life outside of fatherhood. Twenty years later, Sophie’s tender recollections of their last holiday become a powerful portrait of their relationship, as she tries to reconcile the father she knew with the man she didn’t.
“A film to be experienced — just go with it — the full impact of Aftersun comes as the credits start to roll, and the processing begins.” — San Francisco Chronicle
“Charlotte Wells’ sharp and tender Aftersun is the rare father-and-child drama that leaves you wondering who the dad will grow up to be.” — Hollywood Reporter
