‘This mesmeric debut will make you want to stay suspended in its sun-baked setting with its two captivating lead characters for far longer than the runtime. A triumph of new British filmmaking’ ★★★★★ Empire

‘An ode to cinema as a machine for remembering’ ★★★★★ Little White Lies

‘Aftersun is a stunning debut and one of the best films of the year. One that will leave its mark and stay with you for a long time. Similar to that unwanted but inevitable holiday sunburn!’ ★★★★★ Flick Feast
