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.

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

It has a combative, showy kind of intelligence and is not particularly likable. And it is perhaps not always as smart as it thinks it is. That said, there is a savagery to the storytelling that is bracing.

Thelma Adams

AARP Movies for Grownups

Julia Roberts, 57, excels when her character has a dark, damaged streak that contrasts with her megawatt smile. In this psychological drama, she leaps into an academic snake pit as Alma.

Rated: 4/5

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

The film swings between being oblique and irritating.

Leandro Ariel Porcelli

Cinéfilo Serial

The result of a script that dares to explore complex social behavior through the subjective POV of a troubled lead proves messy, but Guadagnino's delicate direction helps build a uniquely worthy emotional experience by the end. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 9/10

Movie Madness Podcast

There is a case to be made that this film hates everyone associated with the #MeToo movement from its perpetrators to those affected and everyone who ever had something to say about it.

Rated: 2.5/4

Keith & the Movies

“After the Hunt” is a technically savvy and narratively enthralling drama, anchored by awards-worthy performances from Roberts, Garfield, and Stuhlbarg, while offering a bold take on a sensitive subject that sparked a cultural flashpoint.

The movie was long and slow. Visually it was dark and the background music in the movie was so loud, the dialogue couldnt be heard at times. Overall, it was strange.

How a lie can destroy even cause a death. Every character had no appeal the educated elite and the rich privileged kids who attend the elite universities turned my stomach. To think so many of out country leadership comes out of these institutions makes me realize why we’re in such trouble in this country. They are so out of touch with society as a whole. But the worst thing about this movie was the soundtrack. I almost left after 45 minutes because I couldn’t stand the music but I like Julia Roberts so I endured it. Save your money especially if you’re a man.
