“Aftersun” Review!

Writer-director: Charlotte Wells

Writer and director Charlotte Wells' "Aftersun" is a pathetic dilemma between a tender father and daughter. It is about a young father who is depressed with his teenage daughter at a resort in Turkey. Pool time, fruity drinks and macarina dancing show that the past or the future cannot be ruled out.

"Aftersun" is based on a remarkable duet between Paul Mescal and 11-year-old newcomer Frankie Corio, a single father and daughter who find each other new and vulnerable aspects during a tough package vacation. The 30-year-old Irishman Calum (Mescal) is often regarded as the older brother of his curious, tomboyish daughter Sophie (Corio), and of course, with their shared strange jokes, their relationship is as complicated as siblings. There is mutual relaxation, comfort, and mutual resistance to the patriarchal tradition. The London-based columnist is also Sophie's unrestrained parent, who lives with her mother in Glasgow - her parents' past relationships are clearly ancient.

This adds even more urgency to Calum's booked trip to a family-based Mediterranean resort crowded with sunburned British: the rare period of constant time between father and daughter. This is an opportunity for time and Sophie. Prove yourself. Show each other their responsibilities and abilities, respectively. Most likely, they have a good time, sharing laughter in the sunshine, shooting pool, indoor entertainment together, or sometimes playing with a camcorder that accidentally makes the pot more, and grips with the rest. Wells' Taut Scripture says very little about his life outside of the present, but moments of misguidance and loneliness - a bad cigarette on the balcony as he thinks his daughter is sleeping in the local market - are the surface of anxiety and turmoil in the corners of Mescal's opposite performance.

Without excessive precautions, Sophie notices some of her father’s mood swings, but is distracted by her growing pains. Boys show interest in her for the first time, while she restrains the self-awareness of any child who has collapsed in adolescence, giving some childish things, but not others, to disproportionate results. Both father and daughter face the fear of growing up in private, feeling that this innocent and charming naturalness can never be shared with each other again. "Aftersun" works so beautifully that Mescel's signature brand, Soft Boy Gentleness - here's a more mature and growing masculinity - shows off Corio’s tough and problematic masculinity and spirit. Combining authentic enthusiasm and charisma, his skillful and charismatic performance feels more like his father's achievement. In an unusual scene, her insecurity flows out during a brave karaoke performance, which makes her look over three years old.

It's one of the many British radio standards of the 90's that fills the soundtrack of "Aftersun" from rasping indie rock in Blur & Catatonia to All Saints' caramel pop groups. As Wells and editor Blair McClelland pursue procedures into the more careless salad days of time and Sophie's own K-30 adult, temporary breakdowns, short and unspecified flashbacks continue to erupt over the holidays. Blurred line between father and daughter's suffering.

While it is hard to believe that time in these decades has brought this relationship to a greater distance and a later understanding, in the intervening decades we have stopped coloring ourselves. The aftershocks explore the strange intimacy between parents and children, the second being for short occasions like summer vacations except for the moments when they can have children.
