Aftersun

"An assured, aching, vibrant debut by Wells, Aftersun is a shattering remembrance of a father by his daughter."

"Aftersun is a beautiful film that heralds the emergence of a major cinematic talent."

"Reminiscent of Joanna Hogg’s Souvenir movies, Aftersun is directed with a sure hand and immense empathy by Wells."

"A stunning debut that develops with the gradual poignancy of a Polaroid..."

"It's a powerful debut for Wells, and a pleasure to watch. "

"Captures that familiar holiday feeling of good days and bad days, or moods turning for no particular reason, other than maybe spending a bit too long in each other’s company."

"Wells’ measured but relentless probing, her careful peeling away of the layers of this intimate piece, mark her out as one of the most promising new voices in British cinema in recent years."

"orks elegantly as a kind of dual coming-of-age study, perfectly served by Mescal’s signature brand of softboi gentleness..."

"The rare father-and-child drama that leaves you wondering who the dad will grow up to be."

"A subtle and complex investigation of post-divorce parenthood, with a brilliant performance by young Francesca Corio."
