Aftersun

“I think it’s nice that we share the same sky” “What do you mean?” “Well like, Sometimes at playtime I look up to the sky, and if I can see the sun then I think about the fact that we can both see the sun.So even tho we’re not actually in the same place, and we’re not actually together, we kind of are in a way, you know?” It would be disingenuous to not rate this 5 stars.So authentic, grounded in realism and just toys with your emotions throughout.Its use of visual storytelling, the wave of nostalgia flooding through you and the ultimate complexities that come along with family relationships.The all inclusive holidays were you would spend all day at the pool and get all dressed up to watch the live entertainment at night and the people you would befriend but know you’d probably never see again is something I can’t help but relate to.It well and truly just rips your heat out and presents this feeling of uncertainty.The dialogue is so real too brining out a sense of emotional resonance aswell as the performances being outstanding by Paul Mescal and Frankie Corio.
