Audience Member Yeah, good ending. Seen far too many series & movies where vile actions like this goes on and there's no punishment or virtually no retribution for such heinous acts/crimes. Not here! The editing can be extreme at times in the way it jumps around. Unfortunately, there will always be meathead subhumans like those who screw over Alejandra for no good reason at all. Good job by Franco and Gonzales. Good job by Franco and Gonzales.

The shooting and the framing, specially the fix off-camera shots, as well as the long silences, immerse the public into the deepness of Alejandra's emotions (superbly played by Tessa Ia). Rough, bitter and cold, the harassment scenes come one after another and we enter a kind of vicious circle in which freedom does not exist. Any type of rationality, understanding or communication are in vain in this compulsory contemplation of violence whose origin is unknown by the victim and, maybe, even by the aggressors. The lack of communication and the sobriety of the photography provide more realism to the movie. Finally, the long sequence shot at the ending enhances the beauty and coldness of the whole. With "After Lucia", Michel France offers at the same time a pessimist but realistic and universal vision of the world, in which a simple action in the social media can make a durable impact in anyone's life.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked this film.I first watched this movie back in 2013 and I enjoyed it. There's only two big problems I have with it. One of them is the directing. The entire film seems to be just one shot. No, not in that way but how there seems to be no editing to it. They film one scene by one perspective. Absolutely no cuts. Not even when one character speaks, the camera doesn't point at them. It points at the entire room where the scene takes place. The second thing is how far the bullying gets. I feel that Lucia gets bullied to the next level in this film. There could be a few cases in the world where bullying goes this far BUT it just seems to push the limits with Lucia and I doubt that a girl like her could have all of that shit thrown at her.
