Los Angeles Times

"After" catalogs so many clichs in the dysfunctional family at its center that the film could be taught in a screenwriting class as a lesson in what not to do.

Kind of irritating in is purposeful disingenuousness and determined challenges to plausibility.

Rated: 2/4

Viewers ... are left with little to do but endure a lot of seemingly unprovoked family tensions while waiting for the inevitable revelation.

Paste Magazine

American tragedy serves as underfed underpinning for rote theatrics in After, an unpersuasive ensemble drama that settles into a self-serious glide-path of inanity early on, never to recover.

Rated: 3.0/10

Film Journal International

Family drama set in upstate New York and revolving around a devastating secret which ultimately rings as hollow as the film itself.

How often does a film come along that truly, deeply pisses you off?

I'm not really sure what was supposed to work about this film. The performances are pretty horrible, the screenplay is tired, and the third act twist is seen coming from a mile away. Even if you take away all the cheese and bad acting from the film, all you're left with is an empty, poorly written film. Avoid it.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Had any of the "professional" critics who gave Rotten reviews done the slightest bit of research into the personal story of the writer and director of AFTER, what I would have assumed was a basic function of their job, perhaps their critiques wouldn't make them seem like unctuous prigs. I miss Roger Ebert, a true professional. If you wonder what the paying audience thought of the film, they rate it, too.

I liked this movie along with my friends who came out today to see it; it was worth the ride from Central Jersey. I hope they will show it in more New Jersey theater's I will watch it again and recommended on my Facebook page.I was blessed to meet the brilliant and humble couple of Director Pieter Gasperz and wife actress writer Sabrina Genarrino and actor John Damon from the Wire episodes at the premier after party. GO see it friends. The Movie.... AFTER
