After Reviews
This really is a dumpster fire of a movie, so please save your money for something more worthwhile.
| Original Score: C- | Jan 29, 2021
After is also one of those teen dramas where every emotion has to be underscored by a pop-song and a hair is never out of place.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 9, 2020
Adapted from young adult fan fiction, not much happens in this adolescent love story, yet it becomes weirdly interesting.

Of such deficient quality that it's unfathomable people will actually pay for a ticket to see this.
| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Aug 30, 2019
The music is fun and the scenery is beautifully cinematic, in a way, but the story itself is neither.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 31, 2019
Jenny Gage's sudsy After offers run-of-the-mill college romance targeted to the PG-13 demographic. The result, a far cry from the lustier stories upon which it is based, misses the mark despite an appealing performance from Josephine Langford.

The leads give it all they've got, and Australian actress Josephine Langford is impressive given the limited range of her role. The film looks pretty and director Jenny Gage, to her credit, knows the rhythms of teen melodrama well.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 24, 2019
It's a movie well made for its target audience.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 12, 2019
After makes 50 Shades Of Grey look like Anna Karenina.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 10, 2019
The film's illogical choices and standard teen romance mentality mean nothing that transpires on screen feels remotely fresh.
| Jul 7, 2019
The first movie adaptation, and it looks fairly safe to say there won't be any more Afters after this After.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 5, 2019
The key to the book's success lies in its artful amateurism. It replicates the tone of one teen confiding in another and in this anodyne screen translation, its intimacy is lost.
| Jul 1, 2019
Where are the real teen romances? This gives us a hint, but the script is so flawed that it's hard to buy anything the characters do.
| Original Score: 3 | Jun 11, 2019
...an often aggressively generic scenario...
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 27, 2019
A lost opportunity. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: .5/5 | Apr 22, 2019
Full of light, pastel colors, enormous curtains, [a] bubble bath, and loud breathing while Taylor Swift plays. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 19, 2019
The performances are spotty and half-hearted, even the most serious of lines are laughable.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 18, 2019
Anna Todd's novel adaptation is this generation's Cruel Intentions. The PG-13 rating holds back the story some, but stars Josephine Langford and Hero Fiennes Tiffin have impeccable chemistry.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 16, 2019
As assumed, After is remarkably horny and corny to the point of embarrassment.

I endured [the film until the end only because of professional duty. [Full review in Spanish]
