AFTERSUN: Grief, Depression & Parenthood | Movie Review

  • Summary

  • How does it feel like to be a parent while having depression and suicidal tendencies? Does it exacerbate the guilt and shame of having a mental illness even further? How does having a parent with mental illness affect a child in the long run? These were the questions I was replaying in my mind and trying to answer as I was watching "Aftersun." Aftersun is a touching directorial debut by Charlotte Wells, set in the late 1990s. It follows 11-year-old Sophie and her 30-year-old father, Calum to a Turkish resort. Calum and Sophie's mother are divorced, and he does not live in his hometown Edinburgh anymore, so Calum rarely gets to see Sophie.
