Aftersun Review

The film "Aftersun" is an affecting and thought-provoking examination of the difficulties in comprehending those we love and the complexities of familial relationships. The movie, which is based on the same-named book, follows Sophie as she remembers a trip she took with her father, Calum, in the past and struggles to come to terms with who he was before becoming a parent. The actors give superb performances, giving their parts complexity and nuance. The spectacular natural scenery is beautifully captured by the cinematography, which also highlights the emotional impact of the narrative. Although the movie takes its time getting going, it rewards patient viewers with a stirring and heartbreaking depiction of the human condition. In the end, it conveys a message of optimism and resiliency while touching on issues of grief, memory, and forgiveness. Ultimately, "Aftersun" is a masterfully made movie that will have a profound effect on its audience.

TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Director Charlotte Wells auditioned over 800 girls for the lead role of Sophie, before landing on newcomer Frankie Corio.

Charlotte Wells stated in a recent interview that during the two weeks rehearsal period that the cast and crew had on set in Turkey, there were two read throughs of the script with just Wells, Paul Mescal (Calum) and Frankie Corio (Sophie). Wells also added that these scripts purposefully did not contain scenes which Mescal has alone, which focus in detail on the depression in which Calum is experiencing, so that Corio's performance was naive to these facts, just as Sophie is.

According to a 2022 interview, Frankie Corio (Sophie) stated that her and on-screen father Paul Mescal (Calum) became very close during filming and still face-time each other to stay in contact.

Calum was seen a couple of times practicing tai chi, an internal Chinese martial art practiced for defense training, health benefits and meditation. The director said in an interview that it was a detail she took from her family, specifically her father and his brothers. She added that it was an aspect of Calum's character that reflected the process of searching.

The film is loosely based on Charlotte Wells' own personal experience of a holiday she went on with her father.

Popular Dialogues

"Sophie: Don't you ever feel like... you've just done a whole amazing day and then you come home and feel tired and down and... it feels like your organs don't work, they're just tired, and everything is tired. Like you're sinking. I don't know, it's weird."

"Sophie: I think it's nice that we share the same sky. Calum: What you mean? Sophie: Well, like... Sometimes at playtime, I look up at the sky and if I can see the Sun then... I think that the fact that we can both see the Sun, so even though we're not actually in the same place and we're not actually together... we kind of are in a way, you know? Like we're both underneath the same sky, so... kind of together."
