      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Bursting with frantic energy and tinged with black humor, After Hours is a masterful -- and often overlooked -- detour in Martin Scorsese's filmography.

      Peter Bradshaw Guardian It’s a shaggy dog story leading to a punchline, of sorts, but one that feels woozy and illusory; it is not like a nightmare exactly, but a strange dream that’s difficult to shake on waking. Rated: 4/5 Mar 20, 2024 Full Review Budd Wilkins Slant Magazine Martin Scorsese’s After Hours mines urban anxiety to unsettling yet often hilarious effect. Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Christy Lemire ChristyLemire.com It might not make any sense. It might not even matter. But it's a blast while it lasts, and it brings the most perfect of endings along with the sunrise. Rated: 3/4 Apr 9, 2018 Full Review Jason Best Movie Talk After Hours is hallucinatory: lit with the clarity of a nightmare and bursting with such surreal details as a cashier who pirouettes as he takes your check and a crescent of mousetraps guarding the bed of a demented cocktail waitress. Mar 24, 2024 Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage Charming as well as exasperating; fun and tragic. [Full review in Spanish] Mar 6, 2024 Full Review Farah Cheded A Good Movie To Watch Vibrates with manic intensity... Only a director of Scorsese’s caliber could turn profound professional disappointment into such a win as this. Nov 11, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

      Derek K One crazy night. One crazy script. One hell of a movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/24 Full Review Andy B A deeply strange film which just seems to keep on repeating slightly altered variations on the same scenario. It's watchable in a bizarre kind of way but the lack of any character development prevents it from being anything other than a bit odd and pointless. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review Nevin C My personal favorite Martin Scorsese film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Ishara L Bizarre movie I had no idea what its intentions were until about halfway in Diverse cast Tone felt off for me I didn't entirely enjoy it. It was trying to be something else than what it was, which made it a weird experience I know what it was trying to do, but it didn't get there for me Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/25/24 Full Review Gregory C One of my favorite Dusk to Dawn movies. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Brian K An interesting premise and engaging lead actor loses its way, with continual negative happenstances detract from any character development or story. A waste of talent. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
