      After the Wedding Reviews

      After The Wedding is a deeply moving story about acceptance and identity with more than one twist and extraordinary performances from Michelle Williams and Julianne Moore.

      Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 17, 2023

      Takes aim at the rich one percent though the movie is not as entertaining as the Danish version.

      Full Review | Original Score: B- | Aug 31, 2022

      ...an exceedingly deliberate endeavor that is, for the most part, unable to wholeheartedly grab (and sustain) the viewers interest and attention...

      Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 15, 2022

      It's very intriguing in terms of the narrative... [but] there's something that's a little disconnected.

      Full Review | Sep 21, 2021

      The real human feelings are almost entirely lost.

      Full Review | Feb 8, 2021

      What this unusually static affair lacks in urgency, it does make up for with committed, intuitive acting.

      Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 30, 2020

      The gender flip turns After the Wedding into a decent feminist statement, albeit one without the edge of the original.

      Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 22, 2020

      [It] doesn't fully trust its own story and tries to dress it up with an air of ominous mystery that winds up undercutting the drama rather than adding to it.

      See it. After the Wedding deals well with the complicated nature of regret in the adult world.

      Full Review | Original Score: 9/10 | Jan 10, 2020

      These two ferociously talented women are just too good to miss at any time and together they are a powerhouse. There's a lovely restraint here...

      Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 13, 2019

      After the Wedding is one of those thoroughly inessential yet subtle and well-crafted films made for grown-ups who like sitting back and watching the inner turmoil of other grown-ups.

      Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 11, 2019

      File under decent, but disappointing and start seeking out the excellent Danish original.

      Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 2, 2019

      The film's top-notch cast are let down badly enough by the clunking screenplay, but they are entirely defeated by the ethical vacuum at its core.

      The polished version of Susanne Bier's 2006 film resolves itself too easily but the performances by Williams and Moore shouldn't be missed.

      Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 12, 2019

      As heavy-handed as the production and costume design are, the moments when Moore and Williams share the screen hint at a powerful tale of mothers, daughters and love that this film, sadly, can't quite reach.

      It feels like all these characters are tiptoeing around certain subject matters for the purpose of prolonging the narrative. Why are they so afraid of asking obvious questions?

      Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Nov 10, 2019

      With what started out as a simple transaction, After the Wedding becomes a confusing melodrama and the need to drag out this complex love triangle almost nullifies any emotionality it creates.

      Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 7, 2019

      A film that doesn't know which story it wants to tell.

      Full Review | Nov 5, 2019

      Even Dynasty wouldn't have attempted the sort of daft plot twists on show here.

      Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 3, 2019

      I'll give no more away here, save to add that just when you think you've been dealt as many improbable twists as any single melodrama can decently produce, along comes another whopper.
