I think Frankie not listening to the prepared playlist actually matched her character a typical 11 yr old liking her own music😂😂 her authenticity shines through I’ve rarely seen a child portrayed so accurately

[Scott-sdzj]

The acting in this film is a joy to behold, it’s rare to see such genuine chemistry between the main cast. Paul is a sensational actor and Frankie, well, what a career you have ahead of you. Well done to all involved, a masterpiece from Charlotte Wells.

This film stayed with me long after having watched it. Raw human emotions but subtle and non- literal, so well done.

[salnger]

Paul seems like such a soft-spoken, thoughtful and lovely person. He's also an immense talent, and I wish him the best in navigating through an increasingly high profile career.

[caleblim]

A lot of praise goes to Paul Mescal, rightfully so, but Frankie Corio absolutely blew me away and her performance was the highlight of the movie.

[cagla]

I wish she also had an oscar nomination. She totally deserves it. I know she will be huge in the upcoming years.

when i was in my early 20s, i worked in a hotel as a receptionist in fethiye, turkey (where it was shot) in summers to earn some money, improve my english and not the least explore the world. now, i ve just watched this movie as almost at the age of 40. what strikes me the most is that when i was at that age, our conversations with tourist customers were not deep enough. yes we were having conversations, even short-term affairs but we did not know what kind of life stories they have. we just knew that it's the british working class that chooses fethiye for low-price holidays. after all, and after having lived in scotland for one year, watching this movie kind of takes me back to those days i had in fethiye and also completes the puzzle: we all have pains and vulnerabilities, being a tourist does not change this reality. charlotte tells this in the most naive/modest way. congrats!

12살 딸을 혼자 키우는 아빠로서 이영화를 보면서 한참을 울었다.
주인공과 비슷하게 느끼고 있던 무기력함과 공허함, 우울감이 조금 완화되는 느낌을 받았다.
배우들의 섬세한 연기와 감독의 연출방식은 미친 수준이다.
이런 걸작을 만들어준 감독에게 찬사를 보냅니다.

Wow I’m actually crying at what Paul says at the end. He really cares about this story. This filM is VERY special and was made with so much love. Paul really cares about what he does and his passion translates to the screen in a similar way Timothée Chalamet’s does

[anthonyweston]

I was halfway through this film and thought to myself that not a lot was going on. But by the end something really hit me and I was really emotional. A very clever film

[ongi]

I couldn't stop crying in this scene. With this scene, I fully sympathized with the feelings of the two characters. I could understand the message the director was trying to convey at once. Of course, the power of music played a part.

[estebancomulet]

Such a beautiful film. All the intricacies and small details, and tension percolating beneath the surface. And it's hard to believe the two leads aren't related. And the ending is chefs kiss. Totally devastating. Definitely the film of 2022.

[lucyjonesx]

Paul is so talented, can't wait to see this project

[aninjaguardian]

Amazing film. One of the strongest debuts features I've seen from a filmmaker and probably my favorite film of 2022

[sarahjb]

Absolutely amazing film and one that will stay with me for a very long time. So tender, so raw, so beautiful. I wanted to sob my eyes out by the end. Highly recommended if you've not seen it yet. Incredible acting, directing and editing.

[izzycamoc]

okay, i heard "playlist for the characters" and now i want it

[garykelleher]

Watched it today. Phenomenal film and great acting from both

[eddietucker]

Paul is not only easy on the eyes but such a gifted performer. I look forward to seeing more of his work.

[craigstewart]

As a father of two teenage daughters, this film is beautiful! - it's perfect, thank you Charlotte

[Sameera_Knight]

They both did Oscar worthy performance. I really like this movie, Definitely Number 1 movie for me this year...
