Critics Consensus

After the Wedding benefits from solid casting and strong source material, yet proves stubbornly resistant to spark to emotional life.

Marian M

Movie is generally good except for the real mom-daughter relationship which is not too explored and justified. And real mom's facial expression should at least change a bit other than looking angry/sullen most of the time, and it's too impossible there is no mother's instinct and instead berate her ex for reneging on their agreement. She should at least be thankful the other half made a different decision and by the way that their daughter grew up and seeing how lovely she has come to be should be a great pride and joy no matter what. If there are moms out there who regret giving up on their kids or abandoning them and find themselves stalking on their children - how ironic that she becomes attached to another kid in India and never for once is being shown at least just longing for someone, her daughter this time and wondering perhaps what she looks like now or whoever adopted her or if she is having a good set of parents, happy family life. ??? And just being grateful to the adoptive mom instead of being so doubting of her intentions when it comes to giving out the donation for the kids in India. She should be a 100% thinking of what it will do to the kids instead of fretting and entertaining differently of any doubtful acceptance. Hope this review strikes a chord in the heart. :-) :-(

Great storyline with a few twists, just a little slow in places.

Wonderful story. Michelle and Julienne were so passionate. The twist was surprising, I hope I would have that kind of courage.

The Spool

[It] doesn't fully trust its own story and tries to dress it up with an air of ominous mystery that winds up undercutting the drama rather than adding to it.

Sight & Sound

The film's top-notch cast are let down badly enough by the clunking screenplay, but they are entirely defeated by the ethical vacuum at its core.

Observer (UK)

The Sad Rich White People Movie is one of my favourite genres, and indeed the white people in this English-language remake of Danish film-maker's Susanne Bier's 2006 tearjerker are very sad and very rich.

Rated: 3/5

After The Wedding is a deeply moving story about acceptance and identity with more than one twist and extraordinary performances from Michelle Williams and Julianne Moore.

Takes aim at the rich one percent though the movie is not as entertaining as the Danish version.

...an exceedingly deliberate endeavor that is, for the most part, unable to wholeheartedly grab (and sustain) the viewers interest and attention...
