Aftersun
Aftersun is a rather poignant story, it wallows in realism to the point you would think you're watching a documentary, it unfolds through the scope of a distant memory fading through time only accessible through emotions.
The director Charlotte Wells succeeded in conveying a sense of a looming threat that engulfs these memories, she showcases emotions and lets the audience fill in the voids and add in the details and guessing the hidden trauma and regrets behind the story, in a sense the film is a reminder how powerful our memories are and can be, for most people memories are what shapes us.
All in all, Aftersun will leave you thinking and it will hit you as soon as you start projecting your own memories on it, genuine filmmaking in every sense.
