Critics Consensus

After the Hunt doesn't lack for fine performances, especially from a standout Julia Roberts, but its coy followthrough on incendiary themes makes for an uncharacteristically toothless provocation from director Luca Guadagnino.

Audience Says

After the Hunt has undeniable talent and a few redeeming qualities, but it’s ultimately stymied by a stubborn score and plodding narrative.

FilmWeek (LAist)

Everybody in this movie can just act like nobody's business. They are unfortunately given a great many stupid things to say and do.

Provocative just for the sake of it.

The Travers Take

Everyone is having at Luca Guadagnino’s star-bedazzled (Julia Roberts, yes!) conversation starter about academics at war with themselves and cancel culture. But despite its blowhard philosophical pretensions there are moments that dig in and get to you.

Rated: 2.5/4

raises questions about power and consent, but its execution comes up short.

The Cinematic Reel

After the Hunt’s lasting impression is not one of provocation or boldness, but one of disappointment.

The Movie Cricket

Director Luca Guadagnino finds new ways to be confrontational in … the college-set drama “After the Hunt,” a bitter drama about the things privilege can and can’t get a person on a modern college campus.

Got terrible reviews, but I really liked the movie. Great he said, she said plot line. You got to watch the characters on each side take actions that make you think. Each one may have been lying. And then we had a clear view of how different generations react to that type of situation. I thought it was fascinating.
