Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Movie Nation (3,875) on 03 Apr 2019

The shifts in attitude Knightley and Skarsgård have to act out are abrupt and jarring enough to feel like perfunctory requirements of a melodramatic…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 29 Mar 2019

Although it’s being marketed as a love story, The Aftermath is more about grief and recovery than romance…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By Gary Thompson (1,554) for Philadelphia Daily News (1,596) on 28 Mar 2019

As Knightley and Skarsgard wrestle with this material and each other, the movie around them goes plot crazy…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By Marjorie Baumgarten (1,950) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 27 Mar 2019

The sadness harbored by all the film’s characters is evident…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 27 Mar 2019

But even if moviegoers' eyes will roll from time to time, Aftermath is so nicely acted, and so handsomely shot, that those eyes won't likely…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By Chandler Levack (49) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 22 Mar 2019

It is the cinematic equivalent of crying after sex, cathartic yet wholly awkward for everyone involved…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By Melissa Yeager (3) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 21 Mar 2019

Those who enjoy either World War II movies or period dramas likely will enjoy this movie, even if some of the plot twists are predictable…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By Liam Lacey (1,725) for Original-Cin (1,156) on 21 Mar 2019

Except the real Nazis, every character in The Aftermath has good intentions, marred by some moments of poor impulse control…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 21 Mar 2019

From the moment Rachael and Stefan look into each other’s eyes while we roll OUR eyes, The Aftermath is a runaway train of cornball cliches…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 21 Mar 2019

Director James Kent’s pretty, frustrating picture has atmosphere in spades, and a diamond-like sheen, but its tale of hearts aflame is slowly…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By Ann Hornaday (1,919) for Washington Post (9,851) on 21 Mar 2019

There’s a ripping good story buried somewhere in The Aftermath, an intriguing but ultimately disappointing story…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By Ty Burr (2,612) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 20 Mar 2019

Throughout, Knightley gives this genteel silliness conviction, grace, heart, and nerve. Sarsgaard gives it smolder and sex appeal…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 19 Mar 2019

There’s nothing wrong with Aftermath, but for one strange and nagging thing: To watch it is to want to be faraway from its world and everyone…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By Rex Reed (1,506) for Observer (1,042) on 19 Mar 2019

The melodrama, unfortunately, is not always convincing. The quality of the acting is so strong that the emotional impact is undeniable…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By Peter Sobczynski (1,159) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 15 Mar 2019

The result is a listlessly soapy melodrama, save for a little bit of modern-day nudity and bloodshed, could have been churned out 60-70 years…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By Chris Nashawaty (734) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 14 Mar 2019

Sadly, director James Kent’s sappy and utterly unconvincing new film The Aftermath shows that even the most foolproof ideas wither in the…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By Katie Walsh (1,279) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 14 Mar 2019

The focus of The Aftermath is in all the wrong places, spending time with characters in which we are unable to gain an emotional foothold…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By Jeannette Catsoulis (1,537) for The New York Times (9,847) on 14 Mar 2019

An old-fashioned wartime romance whose plot highlights are recognizable from outer space, this gleaming dollop of prestige comfort food is…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 14 Mar 2019
