• Aftersun review - March 20, 2024
  • I forgot how beautiful this movie was. The blues and reds are so vivid and deep. The use of close ups and minimalist framing is so great. I knew it was one of the most emotionally poignant movies Ive ever seen, but on second watch Im realizing its also one of the most visually stunning. Second time around was even better than I could have imagined. The perspective of the viewer is now more in line with that of the main character, as it is a story of memories, causing the ending to hit that much harder. The performances stand out as well of course, I cat imagine anything better than this. It feels so authentic. Everything comes together to make one of the most powerful endings Ive ever seen, one of the best debuts of all time, and one of my favorite movies ever.
