The film is unequivocally modern Eastwood: slow pace, human frailty, perfect cinematography, and his own composed music.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 17, 2024

As his directorial efforts in the last several years have confirmed, even at his poised version of 80, Eastwood continues to grow as an artist, expanding his horizons through the material he chooses and the way in which it’s presented.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 3, 2023

This movie leaves a lot it think about - however you wish to interpret it - it leaves it's mark, and doesn't finish when it ends. [Full review in Spanish]

Clint Eastwood's latest movie opens with a spectacular natural disaster, an awesome scene (inspired by a real event) that takes the viewer's breath away. After that, disappointingly, this earnest drama about the afterlife is a bit of a plod.

| Dec 4, 2020

The film's leads either can't quite grasp what Eastwood's trying to accomplish here or they themselves don't resonate with his seemingly hands-off approach to the after life.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 10, 2020

The film is NOT for everyone, as it strikes raw nerves. If you can enjoy it for the cinematography, Eastwood's directing and the amazing locations, then you just might enjoy it as much as I did.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 15, 2020

[W]hile performances by De France, Damon and McLaren lend some sparkle, given the strength of the talent involved Hereafter is, ultimately, a disappointment.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 28, 2019

Clint Eastwood steps out of character to construct an intricate narrative mosaic that's gorgeously shot and quietly moving. Matt Damon sees dead people; he's so modest we believe him.

| Aug 21, 2019

As an understated melodrama it works just fine, as an exploration of human ideas of life after death, it comes up strangely short.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 7, 2019

Hereafter is steadily slow, but never loses my attention.

| Feb 19, 2019

Hereafter is pleasant, intelligent and consistently watchable, but it is also oddly diffuse.

| Original Score: B | Feb 19, 2019

A devastatingly misguided piece of work, significantly lacking in the sort of depth that it so surely believed itself to posses.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 6, 2018

Eastwood found a way to turn the whole thing into a big drag.

| Oct 27, 2018

With the brilliant team of Eastwood and screenwriter Peter Morgan behind it, Hereafter could hardly be anything but a finely crafted, engaging film.

| Oct 3, 2018

The direction is utterly bland. The film doesn't care about its own subject matter, or have anything to say about it.

| Aug 30, 2018

Aged 80 Clint Eastwood has made a film that is completely different in style, tone and structure from anything he has delivered before.

Full Review | May 15, 2018

Hereafter confronts a topic that could have descended into mawkish, mystical hokum, but not in Eastwood's no-nonsense, uncynical hands. He looks at death, and beyond, with clear, open, inquisitive eyes.

| Feb 6, 2018

Hereafter is another case of "poor material, decent direction".

| Oct 24, 2017

Food for thought, this movie may provide... but it fails to linger long after the end credits roll.

| Mar 21, 2016

More concerned with loneliness in this life than anything that happens after death
