Aftersun

🎲

Film by Charlotte Wells praised for its genius visual storytelling in the final ten minutes, implying suicide, conveying intergenerational sadness, and showing fragmentary memory without ham-fisted dialogue

"I also thought The Apprentice and Aftersun were brilliant but I can see their impact fading more easily than the ones above for some reason."

"I'm late the party, but everything in the last ten minutes was a masterstroke. The fact that Charlotte Wells was able to A) imply Calum's suicide, B) convey the sadness of growing as old as a parent lost during childhood (that slow pan from Sophie on the sofa to Calum with the camcorder in his hand)"
The ending of Aftersun...holy moly... · u/deepad9 · ↑166 · 2023-07-10
"i've been depressed for four days, and no one I know has seen it, I was expecting like sad but uplifting at the same time like little miss sunshine or something, but it's got me so fucked up I'm struggling to work i've watched the ending like eight times"

"Really loved this, definitely my film of 2022. Thought it would be a saccharine 'coming of age' film but it hit for me."
