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.

| 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.

| 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...

| 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.

| Sep 21, 2021

The real human feelings are almost entirely lost.

| Feb 8, 2021

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

| 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.

| 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.

| Jan 20, 2020

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

| 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...

| 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.

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

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

| 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.

| Nov 15, 2019

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

| 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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 11, 2019

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?

| 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.

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

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

| Nov 5, 2019

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

| 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.

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