The extraordinary debut feature from Scottish writer/director Charlotte Wells is an achingly tender portrait of a father-daughter relationship. Driven by magnificent performances from young Frankie Corio and Ireland’s own Paul Mescal, Aftersun dives deep and unearths the unspoken emotional truths that exceedingly few films manage to capture.
“This is one for the ages” – ★★★★★The Irish Times
“With remarkable confidence, [Wells] just lets her movie unspool naturally, like a haunting and deceptively simple short story. – ★★★★★The Guardian
