Film choice

Aftersun (Charlotte Wells, 2022), Netflix

What an utterly lovely, delicately heartbreaking film Charlotte Wells has made. The mysteries of adulthood and the loss of innocence are all wrapped up in a summer holiday in Turkey taken by 11-year-old Sophie (a cheeky, adorable Frankie Corio) and her dad, Calum (a superbly layered performance by Paul Mescal). Amid lazy days by the hotel pool, buffets, boat trips and excursions to ancient ruins, Calum’s hidden melancholy surfaces. It’s mitigated by the tenderness and comfort of his relationship with his daughter, but there’s something gnawing at him that we struggle to fathom. Simon Wardell
