Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 08/20/2015
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. Go to Full Review
Neil Genzlinger New York Times 08/20/2015
A romance novel of a movie featuring the world's most stereotypical librarian. Go to Full Review

3/5
Predictable but never coy about it, After Words speaks to the fateful connection that sometimes occurs between two people under the most improbable circumstances. Go to Full Review
Carla Renata The Curvy Film Critic 11/03/2020
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 Go to Full Review

10/13/2018 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. See more diane h 09/21/2016 Kind of schmaltzy, but I got a little teary-eyed in spite of myself. See more 06/13/2016 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. See more 06/08/2016 Very enjoyable/sweet film. See more 04/24/2016 Marcia Gay Harden was excellent in this. Lovely movie with a good message at the end of the film. Nice scenery. Funny. Pura Vida!! See more 03/23/2016 Scenery was nice. Oscar Jaenada was pretty. But Marcia Gay Harden was a stereotypical cat lady. The romance came out of nowhere. And did we really need to her boobs? See more Read all reviews
