Aftersun - Movie Review

Aftersun, the debut feature by Charlotte Wells is a perfect Dad After Dark entry (not a kids film by any stretch) displaying a microcosm of fatherhood/parenthood as it follows the final visit between Callum (Paul Mescal) and daughter Sophie (Frankie Corio). Devastating and beautiful, my review is more of an ode to its power and insights into our mutual humanity through parenthood, childhood, and looking both backward and forward through time.

Still can't believe how amazing that introduction was
Your direction, cinematography, dialogue, editing and color correction were PERFECT

[@DaddyDaughterMovieNight]

Wow, thank you for those kind words. Aftersun rocked my world, so I had to do something to work it out of my system. I'm really humbled if it spoke to other people too. Cheers!

Sir, thank you, thank you. Beautifully articulated.

[@DaddyDaughterMovieNight]

Thank you for that feedback! Cheers!

I am not a parent but Aftersun left such a long-lasting impact on me ever since I first saw it last year. I see parts of myself in Calum and Sophie, and I feel Calum's character is just so well-crafted for the audience to reflect about. I just came across this video and wanted to say its easily one of my favorite videos on Aftersun. Thank you so much for this interpretation and essay!

[@DaddyDaughterMovieNight]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's an incredible film.

hey! just stumbled across this while looking at aftersun content and i wanted to say how wonderful this video is. i loved watching it. i'm an adult daughter and saw this film last january and then my dad watched it and it felt we had this kind of mutual understanding of both seeing ourselves in the film. it was wonderful to watch this review from your POV.

[@DaddyDaughterMovieNight]

That makes me incredibly happy to hear! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Cheers to you and to your dad.

It's been more than a year I watched Aftersun. Read some reviews and now checking on Paul Mescal again i came across this wonderful review. It blew me away. Thank you so much.

[@DaddyDaughterMovieNight]

It's a film that really strikes a chord. Thank you for watching the review,

[@dylshie]

For such a small youtuber your work is absolutely stunning. The cinematography the clips you use, and your narration and review. WOW. WOW. WOW. Stunning video, stunning take and a stunning experience as a viewer. Thank you for helping me digest this movie. It hit me like a truck. I've dealt with my own demons and this movie really helped me look at the future for myself and my potential future family.

[@DaddyDaughterMovieNight]

Thanks so much. Aftersun hit me pretty hard as a dad. I'm glad I've been able to share that feeling. Cheers.

Much appreciated! Thanks!

[@abcdabcd610]

great analysis

[@DaddyDaughterMovieNight]

Thank you.

You were able to put into words exactly how I felt watching this film as a father with a young daughter myself. It’s been sitting with me for weeks now and I don’t know if I’ll stop thinking about this film. (Don’t get me started on Under Pressure either, that song has been completely re-contextualized for me now)

[@DaddyDaughterMovieNight]

It's so powerful, I agree. I've heard from daughters and dads now who find that it perfectly encapsulates something that's hard to put into words, but they share nonetheless. Thanks so much for your comment.

[@RRIFFO.99]

Thank you.

[@DaddyDaughterMovieNight]

And thank you. Cheers.
