Aftersun

It’s all fun and games until it’s the last 5 minutes of this movie and “Under Pressure” starts playing and it’s one of the most quietly cathartic, emotionally devastating moments ever. The acting is incredible. Paul Mescal is very subdued and subtle, yet amazingly realistic in this role I love it. Not only the performances, but also the use of color, reflections and symbolism all culminate to realistically portray the disorientation of reflecting at childhood memories, confusions and aspirations we have as kids, as well as depression. Brilliant movie for a debut. “You can live wherever you want to live. Be whoever you want to be. You have time.”
