About

You’ll likely like Aftersun if you enjoy slow, emotionally heavy reflection on family memories and unfinished understanding; Not for you if you want clear answers or “something happening” throughout, similar to Sort Of and The Florida Project.

Pros: eerie, emotional tension; warm memories; strong father-daughter dynamic | Cons: slow, unsettling pacing; open-ended answers; some disjointed feel
