Review of Hereafter (2010) by Spangle — 30 May 2016

I really liked Hereafter. Powerful, poignant, and at times, profound, Hereafter is a moving look at death and how it touches each and every one of us, as well as dealing with grief. Featuring strong acting performances from all involved and a well-executed and compelling premise, Hereafter really touched me in a special way that many films do not.

It does have it faults and takes a bit to kick into gear in regards to one of its characters, as well as a few moments that left you scratching your head, so it most certainly is a flawed film. That said, however, it never slacks in terms of pace and really hit me.

Overall, I can see why Hereafter is criticized by some, but I am more in line with Roger Ebert on this one. A moving, stirring, and thoroughly engaging film, Hereafter shows that Clint Eastwood's still got it.
