Aftersun (2022) – Scottish father and his ten year-old daughter holiday to Turkey. It's implied that their visits are somewhat infrequent with her parents split. You would characterize the movie as a slow-burn with nothing really happening on the surface but human angst underneath. The father that is about to turn 30 considers himself a failure not achieving whatever dreams he secretly holds. The daughter has an emotional understanding of his troubles , but wants him to snap out of it. The film interspersed with clips from the video camera they shot with on their trip and the adult daughter looking back on what might have been the last trip should took with her father. Critically acclaimed but somewhat bittersweet as a viewer. I wanted the guy to be present for his daughter instead of a slave to his personal expectations. Here is a guy who would have benefited from reading Scott Adams. First time filmmaker called it autobiographical, meaning she was trying to understand her naval gazing dad.
