It feels like a night at the airport: it's uncomfortable, boring, long, dark, with nothing to do, and only a few occasional fun moments that make you think that maybe one day you'll remember it with some fondness. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 24, 2024

A film halfway between comedy and drama and with a touch of magical realism. [Full review in Spanish]

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

The film deals with a script overloaded with metaphors but ultimately finds a certain truth in its bittersweet look at the comforting and frustrating feelings that stem from memories of love. [Full review in Spanish]

What Happens Later will not be tenable at all for anyone who’s too young to have seen Meg Ryan films in the theater during her rom-com peak. Its teeth are a little sharper for its target audience...

| Mar 18, 2024

There’s a little bit of classic screwball/Nora Ephron style patter, undeniable star chemistry, and some of the magical and fantastical aspects of films like Prelude To A Kiss and Joe Versus The Volcano, which are some of my favorite Meg Ryan films.

| Feb 13, 2024

Meg Ryan, David Duchovny explore ultimate 'what if' in sporadically sweet yarn.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 20, 2024

It's incredibly contrived and it really shouldn't work, but kind of does.

| Jan 18, 2024

The film's ruminations on regrets and roads less travelled have a tendency to stifle the more humorous components of the narrative.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 12, 2024

So-so two-hander airport rom-com.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 7, 2024

Although actress/director/co-writer/producer Meg Ryan dedicates this rom-com to her dear friend/writer Nora Ephron, its inherent cuteness wears thin, lacking the essential charm that epitomized Ephron's work.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jan 4, 2024

A wistful post-midlife romcom for mature audiences who understand lost love.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 20, 2023

A two-hander set in an airport mid-journey, the setting is nicely evoked by Ryan's lively direction. This keeps the film watchable even amid the sometimes overwritten conversation and narrative.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 19, 2023

There [are] a few touching scenes and chuckles but, much like any delayed flight, What Happens Later is a bit of a drag.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 19, 2023

Meg Ryan is back, in a rom-com! [...] And that idea, unfortunately, is as good as it gets.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 19, 2023

Ryan has not entirely lost the magnetism that made her such a queen of the genre 30-odd years ago. But as the realisation dawns that the movie is a two-hander, and that we're stuck with just the W. Davises... all prospects of enjoyment begin to fade.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 18, 2023

Aims to be an adorably quirky romcom but plays out as such a surreally purgatorial ordeal that at one point I found myself wondering, Wait, are they actually dead? Am I? Is this what hell looks like?

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 17, 2023

What Happens Later should've been called What Happens When Co-Stars With No Chemistry Together Try and Fail to Make a Cute Romantic Comedy. No airport during a snowstorm gets this deserted, although the movie's awful dialogue is enough to clear a room.

| Dec 14, 2023

A rom-com about how relationships tend to end up, rather than the more idealized version of Meg Ryan’s classic films.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 2, 2023

A mild rom-com. It did not entirely work for me... I did not feel the chemistry between David Duchovny and Meg Ryan.

| Nov 29, 2023

That Meg Ryan comeback. Let's pretend it didn't happen.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 26, 2023
