The final scene makes the entire film a jewel

[jillmayer]

The last scene of this film gutted me. He shuts the camera and walks away into his daughter's memories. The only place people who've left us still remain.

[arondeans]

Love how she made the ending more simple, made it way more powerful

[jgeybp]

Possibly the most haunting scene of a non horror movie.

[Himaro]

An incredible example of "show, don't tell". A scene designed to hit you hard...

[charliewillis]

Listen we’re all happy Brendan Fraser is back but you cannot tell me this man here doesn’t deserve the Oscar win for this!

[paulwillard]

I sob uncontrollably even just THINKING about this scene. It’s masterful and shows the patience and restraint of an incredibly seasoned filmmaker - even though this is her first major feature film.

[EveMay]

Can’t believe this movie wasn’t nominated for best picture and best director

[dable]

When you think cinema is dying just remember there are these little jewels hidden somewhere anyone wants to watch.

The last shot of Calum just standing was incredibly painful.

[kylepop]

I just loved how absolutely nuanced this movie was. It portrayed depression, disattachment and
mental crises so … tenderly. So rare for a film. I watched it expecting some huge fallout or massive yelling scene, or even a death being shown but it remained focused on just giving us a very real and raw depiction

[fensew]

One of the beautiful things about this film is how the audience's relationship with it mirrors Sophie's relationship with this holiday. On first viewing we see it from the innocent child Sophie's perspective as we are still in the dark to Calum's struggles and ultimate fate. Upon revisiting it however we, like adult Sophie, can't help but look for the signs at what was really going on with her dad.

[rlelbox]

That last scene might be the single most affecting moment I've ever experienced in a film

[cinemonger]

I love the way that the movie make us to decode what's going on in the first minute to the last minutes and it turns out that the movie is about Sophie decoding why his father commit suicide even they had a great dad and daughter time in turkey. Hauntingly Beautiful,
10/10

This guy needs to stop playing too sweet and vulnerable characters. He is so good that I get tears in my eyes even when he is just doing interviews. He is gonna be a huge star!

[biggestfanofroger]

I had never cried as hard because of a film, but this final scene touched me in a different way. I only started crying during the last shot, but I couldn't stop sobbing for 45 minutes

[Nubrigtube]

The decision to make the very final scene simpler with the camera stopping the pan to the doors to the rave is an absolute genius one. Sets the tone for the whole film, for the whole mood adult Sophie had for the entire session of her rewatching the video tape and also for a second viewing as well. Nothing short of brilliant and perfect that make me want to thank every single person that worked on this film for giving us such a masterpiece.

[dc]

His voice breaking when he says "bye" at 3:53. Utterly heartbreaking. Phenomenal from every aspect as a film

[vicvic]

How do I explain why from now on I will be crying every time Under Pressure plays?

[ZsebtelepHUN]

The
"Callum is gone
Sophie stands alone" line hits just as hard as the entire movie.
Imagine how it must have felt for Charlotte to write those 2 lines.
