this movie and this version of under pressure broke me like i'm not able to think about any of the two without immediately bursting into tears

[seolpark]

I encountered this film on my 37th birthday after 25 years my father passed away. I spent my whole life blaming myself for not being a kind and loving little girl enough to cure his depression.
I don't know if I could ever forgive myself about that, I only wish I could give a hug on him like Sofie did in her dream

[jaehaywardkent]

this film cut into me with an intense nostalgia. the desperation and longing for something indescribable was palpable throughout. it reminded me so much of holidays with my own father, and the dynamic he used to have with my younger sibling. i cried inexplicably, at small moments like the father stroking sophie's eyebrow. this film was scattered with moments like that, that seem to encapsulate a feeling i'm not sure there's a word for. i'm so grateful to be here and to have experienced films like this one.

this movie really got into me, it remind me of my dad who died days after we arrive from vacations, i was sophie's ages when it happend and the way memories work when you grow up are very similiar than the ones the movie portrays...

[mclovin]

This movie broke my heart so much that I don't know when I'll get better. I am from Turkey. I remember going on vacation with my father to the town where the movie was shot when I was little. My eyes filled with tears throughout the movie, but I couldn't cry. Until a Turkish song plays in the background as the scene begins, before Calum and Sophie take a photo on the last night of the vacation. The name of the song is "Gamsız Hayat". I remember the song from my childhood and the lyrics fit the movie so well.

Don't ask me about me calmness
Without looking at my concealed wounds
Don't ask me about my crankiness3
Without knowing my hidden feelings

Do I look without any trouble on the outside?
Do you think I'm too carefree when I don't express my pain?
Do I look without any trouble on the outside?

Carefree life, puts its weird games unto different people
Carefree life, sets up preposterous traps for different people
Carefree life, asks different people about bygones
Carefree life, gets everybody exhausted without looking at a single teardrop

Don't you think that this calmness of mine will end
Without someone being there to surround my wounds
Don't you think that this crankiness of mine will end
Without me expressing my feelings

Do I sound too weak when I share my pain?
Do you think I'm too helpless when I cry of pain?
Do I sound too weak when I share my pain?
Do you think I'm too helpless when I cry of pain?

This movie can stay with you for days. The ending is a masterpiece

[klarkworthy]

I've never been that fussed with Under pressure but in the context of this scene and in this film it's incredible. This is the last

[lennycunningham]

Minimal, hauntingly beautiful and poignant. And then "Under Pressure" it stuck in my head....I mean visually, profoundly beyond the music itself. Every time, I hear it, I will be thinking of Paul's cringy dance move. This is such a beautiful movie.

[camillebetancourt]

Great movie. It deserved more recognition in the Academy Awards.

[Dealight]

Being in a very serious troubled and unsolvable relationship with my dad since 4 years, this movie devasted me and left a deep void after. Thank you a lot, Charlotte Wells, for portraying words that keeps unspoken, and all those ambivalent feelings, this shameful, angry, bittersweet and desperate grief that can't be express.

[mairtohainle]

Wonderful piece of healing art and deep emotions...❤

[thru_and_thru]

Amazing to read these comments and see how much this movie resonated with people and brought out their own early life memories. I felt the same. This was one of those movies that just stuck with me and as soon as it ended I was left in a sort of daze. Very few movies in recent times have had that affect on me. It’s a brilliant piece of filmmaking art.

[chrissoint]

this movie singlehandedly destroyed me. as soon as the credits started rolling, i cried even harder. easily a cinematic masterpiece.

[catherinecolwell]

This is really beautifully put together 💗 the chemistry between them is unlike anything I’ve ever seen on screen. i feel very close to these characters

[paulluk]

The score is beautiful, not to mention the story!

[brandonhughes]

I need to watch this movie for a fourth time.

[bernadettebertone]

I was 11 around that time. It reminds me of my father and I.

[YodasPapa]

Oh my god the full body chills, I'm only 18 seconds in hahha
This film got me good/bad

[arduh]

The beauty of this film is how as an adult, Sophie looks back on the home video footage and comes face to face with her father, who’s no longer there. Plus, the father is barely in the videos.

Wells: I think you’re the first person to notice that, so thank you. That was the intention. In the birthday scene where Sophie points the camera at her father, I directed Paul (who plays Calum) to avoid the camera, which is why he dances from side to side.
The camera was a record he had for himself that Sophie now has. The footage is the only point of view of Calum that Sophie and we have. Through the camera, we have his only direct point of view during their holiday in Turkey.

As a full blown Asian, I just realised I am An Arab.
