A24 needs to step up the campaign for Aftersun NOW. There's palpable love for this film from the few who've seen it.

[@carouselcakes6237]

Absolutely! On first viewing I’d no idea what I’d just watched. Ten minutes later I was sobbing buckets. I now think Aftersun is my all time favourite movie.

This was a great interview, there’s so much to talk about with this film

[@emmiespencer6163]

Extraordinary film and performance. Humble guy. Charming interview

2:01 Paul talking about Callum spitting in the mirror. I didn't even realize the significance of that scene on first viewing. I rewatched the film recently after watching this video and now I've really started looking at the movie differently and recontextualizing things. This film is a masterpiece

Will Mescal be nominated for an Oscar in this film? Rooting for him. Such a talent😮😮😮

[@maureeen352]

He is nominated for Oscar 🥹

[@mr29]

Your wish came true! And so well deserved I might add.

Awesome actor, he's so mature. Talks like he's been in the game for 20 years but he's only been in a few things. Glad he got the recognition

[@mid5606]

I agree! He is very mature for his age.
