8.3 / 10
Translated from swedish: An astonishing soft film, one that works so carefully and realistically that it hardly feels like it has a proper plot or even acting in the traditional sense.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: Despite the fact that some things continue to irritate even into adulthood, there is still much of the good and fun that lives on. In the characters of the film and in us as human beings. This nostalgic trip makes it very universal and not just beautiful for the sake of romantic nostalgia.

1. Nöjesguiden
Translated from swedish: Aftersun is a heavy film, and at the same time a film that I want to revisit very soon. Charlotte Wells' poetic, heart-wrenching masterpiece can only continue to be admired. A masterpiece.
