Review of After the Wedding (2019) by Bhbarry — 14 Aug 2019

"After the Wedding" is a remake of the 2006 acclaimed Danish film of the same name.

Written by Susanne Bier. This new version, with an adapted screenplay by Bart Freundlich, who also directed the film, stars Mr. Freundlich's wife,.

Julianne Moore, and Michelle Williams, Billy Crudup and Abby Quinn.

Remembering the old adage, "if it ain't broken, don't fix it", I found the film.

To be interesting and, in the case of Ms. Moore, extremely well acted, but.

That's where the accolades end. Although only 110 minutes in length, it.

Seemed longer. Also, Ms. Williams' performance was under stated.

And so low key that it looked like she "phoned it in" for it lacked the.

Emotional dedication that one would expect from someone playing.

Her character.

I give the film a 7 with a suggestion to Mr. and.

Mrs. Freundlich that it's sometimes better for an artist to create.

An entirely new work of art than to try and touch-up an old.

Painting.
