Aftersun

maybe cuz i was a little high but this movie messes with your sense of pressure and pace so much that, despite so little happening on the surface, ive rarely been so gripped or emotionally floored by a movie. instead of any sudden or dramatic turns everything is drawn out just past the point of discomfort, making you so so so immersed in the characters. and i’m like right between the age of these characters and they feeel sooooo fucking complex and so many little details are included to make them feel so relatable and memory inducing. the the shots are beautiful and arranged so artistically but it’s not just flare they match the pacing in very finely directing your attention so you can’t stop thinking about certain details. i mean i cried through the whole thing. dads and kids man. paul mescal oh my god
