The next film we'll discuss is Charlotte Wells's moving drama **Aftersun** (2022). The film stars Paul Mescal and Frankie Corio. It was the winner of the 2023 Bafta for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer.

Revealing the laughs, heartache and tenderness of a trip that means more with each passing moment, *Aftersun* captures a family snapshot of astonishing poignancy.

"With remarkable confidence, Wells just lets her movie unspool naturally, like a haunting and deceptively simple short story. The details accumulate; the images reverberate; the unshowy gentleness of the central relationship inexorably deepens in importance."

*"Aftersun* flows like a fondly remembered memory that’s been replayed endlessly, as if trying to find an important detail that might explain what happened. The easy pace of Wells’s direction brings out the best in her central performers, and the chemistry between Mescal and Corio plays out effortlessly."

The film is available to stream on **iPlayer**.
