Mesmerising and devastating. I adore this film starring Paul Mescal as a father struggling with his mental health on a trip to Turkey with his daughter.

“A quiet, devastating film about memory, love, and all the things we fail to understand about our parents when we’re young. It follows a father and daughter on holiday, but the real story is in the small, tender moments, the silences, and what Sophie only understands years later. Tender, melancholy, and incredibly human, it left me in pieces.”

“SO BEAUTIFUL. Incredible acting, cinematography, and soundtrack. This one makes me cry like a baby. Don't watch it on a plane...”

“More devastating the second time round, this film's power lies in the subtlety of what's not said or shown. The tenderness between the two leads feels so natural, and the piecing together of memory fragments is such a painfully accurate reflection of what it's like to grieve someone. Guaranteed to quietly break your heart. Reading this review of this film destroyed me.”
