Review of Aftersun

Aftersun (II) (2022)
9/10
Raw Emotion
24 October 2022
Wow! I feel so lucky to have been able to catch this at a local film festival today. This movie feels so raw and inspired and it captivated me from the very first shot. The cinematography was so incredibly unique that it's hard to believe that this is Charlotte Wells's first feature. I loved how parts were told through the lens of a camcorder, and parts were most professionally shot.

This is definitely one of those movies that takes its time and slowly builds over the course of the film which really allows you to slow down and enjoy the camera work. Definitely feels like a nice breather from most of the action-packed cinema we are used to today.

A24 is definitely doing a ton of good for the film industry and has been putting out some of the best films in the past several years. Can't wait until Aftersun comes to streaming so I can watch this beautiful masterpiece again!
