Slow and miserable in the time honoured tradition of British films (im british).

Outstanding performance from the little girl. But why is this getting such good reviews?

I can walk down the street and see these ppl and events any given day. Nothing cinematic here.

Will have forgotten everything that happened in this movie by tomorrow. Because nothing happens.

Don’t know what critics and audiences are seeing i this.

Dear British filmmakers, please show more vision and ambition.

@jay-shuai Doesn't bother you the fact that almost everyone gets the point of this film but you don't?

I watched this mainly because I was a huge fan of Paul Mescal in _Normal People (2020)_. Both he and his co-star from that series, Daisy Edgar-Jones, have been on a tear recently, with her being in a slew of mainstream films and shows (_Where the Crawdads Sing_, _Fresh_, _Under the Banner of Heaven_), and him being cast to star in Ridley Scott's much belated Gladiator sequel. From what I've seen, they both deserve it. Mescal's performance in this film was once again brilliant. Unfortunately, that performance was in support of a story that didn't quite do it for me, mainly because there wasn't much story at all. This is a slice of life where the slice is a bit too thin. We get all of these wonderfully acted snippets and moments, but not enough progression for my liking. On top of that, the film drapes everything we see in an opaque cloud of the abstract/surreal. It's very intentional, and I'm confident the creators were trying to invoke specific ideas/feelings. This makes it all the more frustrating when I'm struggling to decipher what I'm watching and only coming up with vague guesses at what it all means.

Not a lot happens in Charlotte Welles' debut movie. And yet the depth of feeling is enormous. Quietly devastating.

You may not have to personally relate to what this movie is getting at to enjoy it, but this really hit close to home for me. The slow burn and the unease that is just beyond the edge of every scene as we go through a weekend holiday with a trouble father and his daughter ring very true and it feels familiar. The feelings we have about our parents when we are kids and as we start to get older and realize or reflect on the fact that they are just people, in some cases very flawed people. The way you might be left, with just memories and regrets as life moves on.

Beautiful and incredibly layered. It’s very easygoing and slightly melancholic on the surface, but there’s so much more to it. It packs a strong emotional punch, as well as ideas about memory and [spoiler] our evolving relationship with the dead based on our own age [/spoiler], but you have to piece most of that together by yourself. It’s extremely subtle in places, there’s essentially no plot and most of the building blocks for the characters only become clear in hindsight. Fantastic acting as well, the cinematography is nice and occasionally poetic. Maybe I would’ve liked a few more standout scenes, because this can be patience testing on a first watch, though I’m convinced that won’t be an issue for me with subsequent viewings.

8.5/10

I was intrigued by the trailer, but the film turned out a bit empty. It does not add much on the relationship issues between father and daughter.

This was so incredibly moving, I don't have words. Paul Mescal has such soul and subtlety as an actor, I can't wait to see what else he does in the future. I loved this, so sad and beautiful.

Like my parents' National Geographic subscription: I get it but it's not for me.

This is a wonderfully made and subtle film about a father-daughter relationship that I can totally understand why so many people would love.

The best thing about this movie is the kid. It's very hard to get a natural performance out of a child actor. I just wish there was more meat to the story.

It builds a narrative and visual language that is impressive in the creation of images that have an emotional background in which the affection between father and daughter sustains a good part of the story. The use of reflections and objects that stand in front of the image of the characters, that delimit and break it, is particularly significant in those idyllic vacations that have a melancholic background. And the point of view from the fragmentation, when we really discover where it comes from, is one of the most fascinating narrative devices that have been seen this year.
