Aftersun (2022)
I hated that scene in the screenshot. They get off the tour bus in Turkey and we can tell that it's a tourist stop with scenic views of Turkey from a high vantage point. Instead of doing something visually attractive and showing us the beautiful view, all we get is the backside of dad and his daughter doing Tai Chi moves. This could've been visually a wow moment and also could've gave them the chance to talk about something of importance. But no, none of that happened.
The entire film is ugly and looks like it was shot on a potato. It said nothing, did nothing. How can you film in such exotic places and make your film look like you used a phone to film it. I didn't even realize it was jumping around in time until the very last scene of the adult version of the daughter. When I seen those scenes inter-cut earlier into the film I thought that was suppose to be her mother in Scotland missing her daughter who was still on vacation with dad. And the ending where the dad walks down a hallway into a dance? What?
After the movie I read some IMDB reviews and people said the ending was so powerful they cried? Why? I don't get what was happening there so it had zero impact on me. Oh and I want say I watched the entire movie without distractions, lights off and on the big TV and yet I still got close to zip out of it and I do like this type of subject mater...I was a fan of Sofia Coppola's Somewhere (2010) which is considered slow cinema. My review of Somewhere (2010).
