Aftersun is an extraordinary film. The way it uses the film lens to look at memory, perspective, and understanding our parents-who they were to us then and now. Who they are as human beings, and how they live on inside us. By far the best movie I have seen in many years.
Nice review where do I stream it
@@asliketheson Different ones. What country are you in?
@@asliketheson Apple, Vudu, & Prime.
And thank you. You can find me on Letterboxd but it won’t let me type my username on here for some reason.

What a year for Paul. Not only did he get an Oscar nom but an Olivier as well. Love his work.
An Olivier nomination. The awards have not been made yet.
Really wish Almeida's Streetcar could be an NTLive candidate.
@@williamgardiner2010 Mescal is nominated for Best Actor for his role in “A Streetcar Named Desire” . The 2023 Laurence Olivier Awards will be held on the 2nd April.
@@jennifercramer6756 I really hope so. Last year, the National Theatre at Home (the streaming service of the NT alongside NT Live in cinemas) removed the Young Vic NT Live version of Streetcar, the one starring Gillian Anderson. No reason why they decided to remove the said version in the streaming library, but probably it could make room for the Almeida version. Well, fingers crossed!
@@williamgardiner2010 Paul Mescal just won the Olivier award for Best Actor!
He’s such a down to earth guy . Hope he stays grounded . Wonderful actor !
He should. He's Irish.
@@GwaiZai grounded...like bono.
@@GwaiZaihe reminds me of Paul Walker
He's so humble and well spoken, and the end of the interview was hilarious with Jimmy.
don't forget pretty, he's VERY pretty
trueeee
@@ubuu7Is it me or does Paul Mescal kinda remind you of Paul Walker
The cinematography in this film is 🤯 Such a unique perspective/vantage points (reflections, angles, etc) Glad she's been receiving well deserved accolades as break through director.
Aftersun was the most beautiful beautiful movie of 2022. It was a revelation, I was shook. What I truly love about Mescal’s performance is that it’s so quiet and natural. It’s not a showy movie actorish Oscar-bait effort, like, he wasn’t doing it to get an Oscar nomination (which is totally what that Elvis actor feels like, like Butler is launching a political campaign). Mescal trusts the director and the script and his co-star (who is just an amazingly natural non-obnoxious kid actor, how did they find her?!). By trusting everyone else, he make his own performance shine. So my ideal Oscar list order is Mescal to win, Farrell, Nighy, Fraser, and Butler.
yup u described it perfectly, it feels exactly like he's running a political campaign. My list is pretty much the same as yours, maybe switch Colin and Paul since he's pretty young and has a lot more time to get a win. but unfortunately the frontrunners are Fraser/butler and out of those two, id prefer Fraser for sure.
Elvis was really good though and he put a lot of effort into reflecting an accurate portrayal
@@rubiksworld2170 To be fair, I’m not a Baz Luhrmann fan, so that doesn’t help. But I don’t care how much work went into prepping for the part, I care that I believe the character. I just saw a caricature of Elvis, especially older Elvis.
I mean, o should forget the actor is acting, and Butler just didn’t pull off Elvis’ charisma.
@@Jana-oj7zq understandable. I’m going to watch after sun soon so I guess I’ll see what you mean 😅
Paul’s laugh towards the end is so adorable why am I smiling like an idiot right now over it
Me too.
It's been awhile since I've seen a performance like his in Aftersun. That lingering version of Under Pressure...so much beauty and heartbreak.
Aftersun is by far the best film from last year. Emotionally breathtakin with gorgeous cinemtaography and thriving performances that feel real
Indeed, truly is was art. What film and cinema is meant to be.
I love how shy he is!!
Paul Mescal is having an amazing couple of years and he deserves all the awards for his performance in Aftersun. Easily my favorite film of 2022 and a masterpiece debut by Charlotte Wells
I watched this film months ago and I’m still digesting it. It broke my heart. He’s so beautiful.
I don't have words to describe how good of a movie aftersun is. It is phenomenal.
He's really humble regarding the play: He's playing the lead role in "Streetcar named desire" and the tickets for the whole run sold out in less than 2 hours.
named (not called)
@@criostoirodriscoll5472 Right, corrected.
@@ashtree7213 and he won
Paul is so unusual as an actor in that he has no ego and can convey more on his silent face/physicality, than others do with 2 pages of dialog.
He's also a good singer (like his sister) even in operatic mode!(Phantom in Phantom of the Opera at 16) I wish somebody would teach him ballroom dancing/Alexander technique for his posture - that will come with more confidence I'm sure. He has a marvellous frame/ shoulders( gaelic football) which will be handy when playing a gladiator in Ridley Scotts sequel.
What a cutie!! I wish him the best. Going to check out the full movie trailer now.
Aftersun is absolutely heartbreaking and his work is sublime. It's not a showy performance at all but absolutely brilliant.
This is going to be one of those films people will be appreciating for YEARS. It has such a special place in my heart. And this was Charlotte Wells debut film!!
Humble and talented Paul ❤
Great interview Jimmy Kimmel, Paul Mescal is such a sincere, genuine and lovely young man!
I'm sooooo happy and proud of him.💙💙💙💙💙
Gwan Paul! Delighted he's doing so well.
He is one off best young irish actors going 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
The best Young actor in the world. One of the best films in the decade.. and also one of the best performances in a long time.
Watch his series Normal People.. it's great
I think he's amazing but I think barry Keoghan is one of the best new coming actors
Este chico es todo lo que está bien ❤
Aftersun wow what a film 10/10. It will stay in your memory for a long time!
Like everyone else is echoing, Aftersun was haunting and beautiful.
It's my new benchmark for Cinema.
This guy is a truly incredible actor.
Love this guy. Aftersun was amazing
got to love Paul Mescal ❤ anything he does is nothing short of spectacular
manifesting that he’s gonna win that oscar
I doubt he will as it’s had a very limited release.
i’m crying at him cracking up at his “maybe next year” joke😭
The shirt he's wearing looks cute because of him! he is really cute 🩷🩵
I cry with After Sun but Normal Ppl is always in my heart. Love him ❤
Connell
I traveled outta state to watch this movie in theatres in NYC. It was phenomenal and so worth it. Please see if you’re able to (and if your mental health is in a good place)♥️♥️
So happy for Paul! From the Denny’s ad to the Oscars 🎉🎉 aboy da kiiid!
Such an extraordinary artist. He is amazing.Really want him to win.
He reminds me of Daniel Day Lewis. I don’t know if it’s the talent, the fact that he’s Irish, the fact that he’s not really into the whole celebrity thing, or the earring 😂
Daniel Day-Lewis is English.
@@mid5606yes he is English but he is also Irish. He holds a dual citizenship and he lives in Ireland.
@@mid5606 his father is Irish and his mother is Jewish
Cillian murphy is the same way
@@mid5606 Daniel Day Lewis. Prefers to be considered Irish.
why am i giggling and swinging my feet
homeboy better win that well deserved Oscar!
te amo paul mescal
If WB and Gunn wants that new young Superman... Here's your guy. New approach, new face. A rising star capable of playing Superman for many many years.
Having a major crush on him
Any person who loves their mom is basically good person
That rules me out then 😂
If Paul wins the Oscar I will go absolutely crazy I promise you that! So many great actors up for Best Actor but would be so cool to see Paul win.
The 'you came out of her, and technically him too' comment by Jimmy was gold 😆😆😆
He comes across as a very sweet and humble guy.
He reminds me of Paul Walker
I love this man I will literally die for him.
I am so happy for him! He did such a fantastic job in Normal people and now here - STAR!
aftersun was the single handily the best movie ive ever seen.
Me too, I can't watch the Under Pressure segment without crying. It truly strips me of any emotional armour.
adorable 🥺
He’s simply lovely.
Aftersun feels like such a personal movie, it's almost weird to see it on a huge tv show
Oh my Gosh this was Brilliant 😂👏🏻💗
I love him so much
Those girls in the audience would have definitely been me if I went😂😂 we get to live through them at least
he's so precious
thank you AFTERSUN!
Amazing, heart-breaking film.
I love his confidence mixed with a bit awkwardness. A perfect recipe to be this hot❤️🔥🍓
so gentle..
Paul is the moment
Loved him since his appearance in Normal people
He reminds me of Paul Walker
He is the next great male actor. Him and Chalamet will be sparring for Best Actor over the next decades
I think barry Keoghan is one to watch
Hopefully not before Paul Dano or Jesse Plemons. Timothee Chalamet has that face, but when it comes to white male actors, Dano and Plemons are currently on top for me
what a beautiful and amazing movie
Man Paul. Knock it out of the ball park.....
Is it me or Jimmy has changed the tone of his jokes and teases? He is bolder!!
paul is SO sweet!!
Don’t know if I’ve suddenly unlocked dyslexia but I read this like “Pedro Pascal…” and then I was like Pedro wasn’t in Aftersun?? And then I seen Paul in the thumbnail and then I was like “Oh..” and now… Well now I don’t know what to say to myself
Well.. Pedro Pascal is spanish for Paul Mescal so
@@cholidenko nice 😂😂 but no
Thanks for getting the pronunciation of Paul's surname correct haha
Love him 😍
Tila Tequila, Paul Mescal, and Brandy walked into a bar...
I want to watch that Aftersun movie but I feel like it would be too emotional as I had a relationship with my dad up until I was like 13 and haven’t really been in my life since.
Yeah that would be hard. Just be in the right place emotionally! X
@@ReadingswithDebbie thank u 👍 will probably check it out later in life
as someone in the same situation, it was very emotional, it’s already a sad movie but being able to relate to it on such a deep level makes it so much more sad, i still recommend watching it, it’s very good
Great actor! Hope he gets great films!
my man my man
Wicked mullet ❤️🔥🚒🧯
He has it for the play he’s in. He had an awful mustache for a movie he did last year.
Well done lad!!
he is resisting the bunny tie from his inner scottish, I know it! -- from that shepherd st crossing boy
美容美发，蓝翔不檯區砳
Asking if we get the Kardashian in Ireland is a bit condescending, Kim Kardashian, had her honeymoon in Ireland
I saw it as a compliment to Ireland. Why would the Irish be interested in such rubbish as the Kardashians
He's still in the role!
Emory Parnell talk about sir Alfred Hitchcock
i love jimmy's interviews but this one felt a bit off and awkward for some reason
Well Done Paul
Not a lot of uploads since everyone's attention came to the fact that Jimmy is on the flight logs
He will be exposed for what he really is
Unexpected an Oscar nominated actor playing Human Torch in MCU? Nice
He deserves a big blockbuster slot. Just hope he keeps making great independent films.
This guys is so likeable. Just like a regular lad with a terrible haircut. Still, cute as F***.
Noooo his haircut is great 😂
@@Nancy-sf2pl
No, not really
He has to like his haircut.
He's signed for the new Gladiator movie, he was on our Irish chat show last week & said so.
I saw him with better haircuts than this one 😂
I love normal ppl too
NP was indeed, very very beautiful 🥰 where he did a fantastic job together with Daisy Edgar Jones.
Me too. Love Daisy as well.
Oh Paul bring Phoebe 💔💔💔❤️❤️❤️
They broke up
he is so amazingly cute
Up Ireland!
"ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?"
I adore him :(
Do you know the story "The emperor's new suit"? Well, I'll say it now, Paul Mescal's shirt collar is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. There.
He should be in Dune as a main lead.
What? Is he cast as Leto?
Ugh that scene 😭
So hard to watch 💔💔😭😭
Why is nobody never asking him question about his recent cast in Gladiator 2? I've been watching a lot of Paul Mescal interviews and talk shows appearance and nobody never bring the topic up...
it isn't confirmed yet
@@chrisxsierra3627 Maybe not 100% confirmed but it is considered as such on imdb and other serious websites. And even if it's not confirmed yet, they could still ask him the question. Maybe he can"t talk about it..
@@Nicotine46 yeah the most likely scenario would be he can't talk about it yet
He is working on Aftersun for this campaign -time constraine interviewers know to focus on the Oscar nominated work in this run up rather than promote possible future projects.
@@classactsexpertiseandinspi4815Is it me or does Paul Mescal kinda remind me of Paul Walker
He reminds me of my teen crush, sans the pearls of course.
😂😂
The way the Irish use' like' is endearing.😊
He played a dad in his debut feature. One that had a girl at a young age
I wish Jimmy stated that Paul was playing thuggish Stanley in one of the most iconic American Plays A Streetcar Named Desire which could have made the conversation even more interesting, maybe asking to hear what Paul sounds like playing blue collar American. It wasn’t just that he’s starring in a play, he’s starring in THE play, the most challenging , exhausting play for even the most skilled actor, not light comedy. A wasted moment.
I saw it two weeks ago. He was incredible in the role, accent was accurate, he was ominous, intimidating and scary which was amazing to see him perform, as we have seen him in many sensitive, emotional roles. He is one of the most talented actors of our time.
