Aftersun (2023), directed by Charlotte Wells

Young dad Calum takes his 11-year-old daughter Sophie on holiday to Turkey. He seems caring and devoted, but there is an undercurrent of darkness to the seemingly idyllic trip. The story is interspersed with flash forwards to present-day Sophie reliving childhood memories and found footage of the holiday captured on a hand held movie camera. Callum is clearly troubled and a sense of foreboding haunts the film. You somehow sense he will die young – will it be on this trip? Is he ill? Will he suicide? But you actually never discover his fate. Paul Mescal and Frankie Corio are mesmerising as father and daughter in what should be a haunting tale, but too much is left unexplained, with too little context to make a complete story.
