Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Harden's role in this groan-worthy dramedy is so dreary and ill-conceived that even her formidable talents can't bring it to life. Aug 20, 2015 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times A romance novel of a movie featuring the world's most stereotypical librarian. Aug 20, 2015 Full Review Steve Davis Austin Chronicle Predictable but never coy about it, After Words speaks to the fateful connection that sometimes occurs between two people under the most improbable circumstances. Rated: 3/5 Aug 20, 2015 Full Review Carla Renata The Curvy Film Critic Marcia Gay Harden is wonderful in a role that shows what can happen to loneliness clouded in despair when one finds that love and joy are always just a stones throw away. Beautifully acting couple with desire to book a trip to Costa Rica like yesterday Nov 3, 2020 Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com "After Words" is a showcase for the unique talents of Marcia Gay Harden. Rated: 6/10 Aug 24, 2015 Full Review Harvey S. Karten Compuserve Depressed woman finds love with her tour guide in Costa Rica. Who wouldn't? Rated: B+ Aug 17, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Delightful. But just because I loved it, don't take that as an indication of it's ending - a good story can lead to many destinations. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review troy k A higher quality version of a Lifetime movie, not horrible, but nothing exciting either. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review diane h Kind of schmaltzy, but I got a little teary-eyed in spite of myself. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Costa Rica was a beautiful setting to end her life, but ex-librarian Jane didn't count on it waking up her dead soul. This is a bit slow and completely predictable with a sweet ending so not an overall waste of time. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Very enjoyable/sweet film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Marcia Gay Harden was excellent in this. Lovely movie with a good message at the end of the film. Nice scenery. Funny. Pura Vida!!
