Aftersun is one of those films that wants to remind you of how precious time spent with one's family is. In the film we see the relationship between a father and his daughter, who spend a vacation at a resort. Yes, it is a mundane and simple plot, but it is told in such a beautiful way. Seeing the father taking care of his daughter (and vice versa), seeing the two of them happily spending good times, made me smile throughout the film.

All opposed with scenes in which we see, in my interpretation, the father's depression, the unreadiness to have a daughter at such a young age for him. But despite everything, what matters most to him is seeing her smile, and that made me emotional.

Various scenes brought tears to my eyes, especially the final shot, when we realize that the two of them, after the vacation, never saw each other again, and all that was left for the daughter of her dead father were the recordings they made (my guess, the father committed suicide because of the weight of too much responsibility, perhaps? I don't know).

Incredible film, incredible debut by Charlotte Wells, catch it up.

9/10
