"Aftersun" is almost physically painful to watch, but Charlotte Wells' feature film debut is exceptionally beautiful.

The quietly explosive father-daughter drama ”Aftersun” relies on the unsaid, and creates a lingering feeling.

An astonishing soft film, one that works so carefully and realistically that it hardly feels like it has a proper plot or even acting in the traditional sense.

There is something utterly remarkable about the Scottish feature film debutante Charlotte Wells' crystal-clear and self-assured storytelling in 'Aftersun'.

A story that does not exaggerate or simplify, it shows both the bright and dark side of a life.

Charlotte Wells' feature film debut 'Aftersun' is a poignant portrayal of a daughter and father on a leisurely and directionless – yet meaningful – sunny vacation with a dark undertone.

Despite the fact that some things continue to irritate even into adulthood, there is still much of the good and fun that lives on. In the characters of the film and in us as human beings. This nostalgic trip makes it very universal and not just beautiful for the sake of romantic nostalgia.

Scottish filmmaker Charlotte Wells' feature film debut about a muted father-daughter relationship is eerily subdued and brilliantly told.

As a middling bag for my part. I wish I could love the movie as much as everyone else does.

Aftersun is a heavy film, and at the same time a film that I want to revisit very soon. Charlotte Wells' poetic, heart-wrenching masterpiece can only continue to be admired. A masterpiece.
