Aftersun

i’ve held off a bit on rewatching this due to how much of a chord it struck with me the first time and the fear of it underwhelming upon a rewatch, but i figured that the waning days of summer made now a better time than ever to revisit it. boy was i not disappointed. this hit even harder the second time around. i have been sobbing my eyes out since paul mescal started sobbing his eyes out and i haven’t stopped since. that final moment is absolutely devastating and it hasn’t left my mind for the past two years. simply spectacular.
