Aftersun is a beautiful work of art with stunning performances and courageous direction.
It is a reflection of memory - the memory of a father. He is a tormented person suffering from crippling depression. He attempts to not allow to his pain to ruin his limited time with his beloved preteen daughter.
Paul Mescal gives a brilliant performance. In my opinion it is the finest performance by an actor I have seen this year. He has the gift of connecting with his audience on a spiritual level. You can sense his characters inner life and suffering just by gazing into his eyes. I was mesmerized by his performance.
This is not a conventional film. It demands concentration and patience. It is, however, a brilliant journey well worth your time.
