“if you’d like to meet floor in the most tender possible way, grief done so well”

“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.”

“as memories fade, some moments grow more vivid. that dance sequence lingers long after the credits roll, and every frame feels like a memory”

“I saw this on a Letterboxd Top 250 Films with the Most Fans, and decided to give it a watch. So beautifully shot, and will be something I rewatch on a summer day when I just want a slow, no-plot, emotional piece. The ending will always have me feel a certain way in my heart.”

“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.”

“Dir. Charlotte Wells”
