Just outstanding

I rarely watch movies anymore. In my livetime I have seen so many that only if something looks really intersteting to me I will sit down and watch it.

My god I am so thankful I picked this one.

This is one of these movies that can't be explained by the plot. A dad and hir daugther go on a vacation, they do some stuff, she befriends a few teenagers. Thats it. Or is it?

No its not. Everthing heere is in the subtext. It is in little moments, little interactons. You will get hints but you will have to fill in the blanks which is what makes that movie stand out. It has layers, it will make you think not just when you watch but afterwards as well.

Paul Mescal already prooved with "Normal People" what an amazing actor he is. How natural and real he feels is mind boggeling. Frankie Corio playing the kid is one of these "how can a child be such an amazing actress" moments. For me this is the movie of the year and at least a oscar nomination for script and both leads.
