Reviews
“Aftersun” isn’t just an honest movie about the way that we remember the people we’ve lost — fragmented, elusive, nowhere and everywhere all at once — it’s also a heart-stopping act of remembering unto itself.
David Ehrlich: indieWire
An assured, aching, vibrant debut by Wells, “Aftersun” is a shattering remembrance of a father by his daughter.
Robert Daniels: RogerEbert.com
It’s a film of such restraint, oblique observation, and poised naturalism that the wallop of this feeling is quite unexpected. It heralds Wells as someone with a Joanna-Hogg-like career path beckoning right ahead, paved by a sensibility all her own.
