Sophie reflects on the shared joy and private melancholy of a holiday she took with her father twenty years earlier. Memories fill the gaps between camcorder footages as she tries to reconcile the father she knew with the troubled man she didn't.

Our take on Aftersun

Charlotte Wells's 2022 debut reconstructs a long-ago holiday between a young father and his daughter through fragments of memory, slowly revealing the sadness beneath the sunshine. Quiet, elliptical and quietly shattering, it's a film that aches in the spaces between scenes. If its emotional subtlety and melancholy gripped you, seek out understated memory dramas about parents, childhood and the things we only understand too late.
