Friday Family Film Night: AFTERSUN review

In which the Mister joins me in reviewing AFTERSUN (2022), from the directorial debut of Charlotte Wells, with a screenplay by Charlotte Wells. As an adult, Sophie (Celia Rowlson-Hall), attempts to piece together and better understand her father, Calum (Paul Mescal) by revisiting old home videos and delving into childhood memories of the last vacation she as an eleven year old (wonderfully portrayed by Frankie Corio) spent with her Dad. Through the course of the film and story, we are given small clues to the larger story at play and the end will leave you breathless. The film has a run time of 1 h and 42 m, is rated R and is available on the Hoopla app, but also streaming on Paramount+ and to buy/rent on Prime Video. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
