Nick Schager

The Daily Beast

Affords Julia Roberts with her best part in years as a professor whose role in a burgeoning scandal threatens to expose her deep, dark (related) secrets. She’s not enough, however, to make this wannabe-conversation starter coherent, much less insightful.

New York Post

It’s mostly entertaining, and its many mysteries captivate even if they don’t collide into a satisfying finale.

Rated: 2.5/4

Edward Douglas

The Weekend Warrior (Substack)

Working from such a brilliant script with a cast at the top of their game puts this movie up there with some of Guadagnino’s best.

Rated: 8/10

Despite a valiant effort by the actors, too much chaos in the script, direction & music score. I rarely dislike movies but this one was SUPER grim…

ELIZA T

After the Hunt succeeds in holding the audiences’ attention throughout the film. Ivy League academia at its snobbery best. The cast is above average in its cohesiveness and realistic portrayals. This film is character driven in a myriad of complex subplots. Julia Robert is superb as the staunch Yale professor, who bullies her students as well as collects them. Ayo Edebiri engulfs her character with realism and arrogance. Andrew Garfield surprises with delicious energetic aggression that is both frightening and sensual. This film leaves one thinking. A
