Aftersun is an extraordinary film. The way it uses the film lens to look at memory, perspective, and understanding our parents-who they were to us then and now. Who they are as human beings, and how they live on inside us. By far the best movie I have seen in many years.

Last year, the National Theatre at Home (the streaming service of the NT alongside NT Live in cinemas) removed the Young Vic NT Live version of Streetcar, the one starring Gillian Anderson. No reason why they decided to remove the said version in the streaming library, but probably it could make room for the Almeida version. Well, fingers crossed!

Aftersun was the most beautiful beautiful movie of 2022. It was a revelation, I was shook. What I truly love about Mescal’s performance is that it’s so quiet and natural. It’s not a showy movie actorish Oscar-bait effort, like, he wasn’t doing it to get an Oscar nomination (which is totally what that Elvis actor feels like, like Butler is launching a political campaign). Mescal trusts the director and the script and his co-star (who is just an amazingly natural non-obnoxious kid actor, how did they find her?!). By trusting everyone else, he make his own performance shine. So my ideal Oscar list order is Mescal to win, Farrell, Nighy, Fraser, and Butler.

yup u described it perfectly, it feels exactly like he's running a political campaign. My list is pretty much the same as yours, maybe switch Colin and Paul since he's pretty young and has a lot more time to get a win. but unfortunately the frontrunners are Fraser/butler and out of those two, id prefer Fraser for sure.

The cinematography in this film is 🤯 Such a unique perspective/vantage points (reflections, angles, etc) Glad she's been receiving well deserved accolades as break through director.
It's been awhile since I've seen a performance like his in Aftersun. That lingering version of Under Pressure...so much beauty and heartbreak.
I love how shy he is!!
Aftersun is by far the best film from last year. Emotionally breathtakin with gorgeous cinemtaography and thriving performances that feel real

Indeed, truly is was art. What film and cinema is meant to be.
Paul Mescal is having an amazing couple of years and he deserves all the awards for his performance in Aftersun. Easily my favorite film of 2022 and a masterpiece debut by Charlotte Wells
He's really humble regarding the play: He's playing the lead role in "Streetcar named desire" and the tickets for the whole run sold out in less than 2 hours.

I don't have words to describe how good of a movie aftersun is. It is phenomenal.
I watched this film months ago and I’m still digesting it. It broke my heart. He’s so beautiful.
Paul is so unusual as an actor in that he has no ego and can convey more on his silent face/physicality, than others do with 2 pages of dialog. He's also a good singer (like his sister) even in operatic mode!(Phantom in Phantom of the Opera at 16) I wish somebody would teach him ballroom dancing/Alexander technique for his posture - that will come with more confidence I'm sure.
Aftersun is absolutely heartbreaking and his work is sublime. It's not a showy performance at all but absolutely brilliant.
What a cutie!! I wish him the best. Going to check out the full movie trailer now.
This is going to be one of those films people will be appreciating for YEARS. It has such a special place in my heart. And this was Charlotte Wells debut film!!
Humble and talented Paul ❤
Great interview Jimmy Kimmel, Paul Mescal is such a sincere, genuine and lovely young man!
Like everyone else is echoing, Aftersun was haunting and beautiful. It's my new benchmark for Cinema.
