Janet Planet

Janet Planet is the newest Aftersun, but rather focusing on the bonding ship of mother and daughter and the coming of age scenarios of adolescence and independence. Filled with colorful camerawork and good sound designs, the filmmaker is able to capture the sweet smell of the hazy summer atmosphere and the realistic nature characters sitting on the ground and environment. Provided with good performances from the cast, narrative choices, and themes around the concepts.

On it's core, it's realistic dialogue and conversations felt guanine with touches of humor and depression motions and with the good direction and approach, it worked. While it's narrative doesn't offer something very grand on it's themes and some of the structure and pacing does feel tad slow, it's overall impression worked.
