Netflix has many original films and premieres that become hits, such as Lift recently. But it is not usually the platform that offers us the most quality movies, compared to others like HBO Max. But now one of the best movies of recent times will arrive exclusively on Netflix and we can enjoy a cinematic success if we have the red N.
With exceptions such as “The Snow Society”, Netflix does not usually release many of the great cinema films or successful films in theaters in recent times. With Disney+ with Marvel and Star Wars and SkyShowtime with other premieres like Oppenheimer, the competition is tough. But if you have Netflix you will be able to enjoy Aftersun very soon.
Until now we can see the film on MUBI, a streaming platform available in Spain but which we do not usually have contracted and which is intended for a very specific audience and film fans. If we are looking for something more mainstream, it is now coming to Netflix.
Aftersun
Aftersun is a drama that takes us back to the nineties by director Charlotte Wells. Paul Mescal and Francesca Corio are the protagonists. They are father and son. Sophie, now an adult, reflects on the vacation she took with her father twenty years ago. A vacation that father and daughter shared and of which memories remain thanks to the memory of the protagonist but also to an old video tape in which both recorded those “bits” of summer, vacation, travel, carefreeness and Union…
A beautiful film that takes us back to the summers of childhood but is also a drama about father-daughter relationships, maturity and discovery. A slow pace, a slow and reflective film to enjoy slowly and full of meaning in each moment, in each scene and in each dialogue of the film.
In addition, Paul Mescal’s performance earned him a nomination for best actor at the 2022 Oscars. In addition, Aftersun was also nominated for four BAFTA awards such as best debut or best British film. A critically acclaimed film and a must-see for any film lover.
