Review of Aftersun

Moody slightly menacing film about a dad on holiday in a Turkish resort with his pre-teen daughter. At first it has all the dullness of a resort holiday (and I admit to having a little doze) but the mood and the menace take over, and I ended up being really quite moved by it. It's a depiction of a father-daughter relationship that's kind and loving, even though the dad is really troubled. 

It's occasionally a bit confusing - most of the narrative is set during the holiday but some of it is in the future when the girl is grown up and reflecting back on the past...and perhaps some of it is in the further past, depicting the dad's break-up with the girl's mother - it's not 100% clear. 

Not what you'd call enjoyable but I am pleased I watched it...via informal distribution and USB stick to the projector in the Springhill Middle Floor.
