Critics Consensus

Although its reach occasionally exceeds its grasp, After Yang yields rich rewards for those willing to settle into its low-key wavelength.

Let's just flatly say: Kogonada is a genius.

... A mature, melancholic meditation on the odd transitional phase that humanity faces today — not quite fully digital, not nearly human enough.

I’m not convinced that the picture carries quite the philosophical weight that it thinks it does. Still, it’s an undeniably gorgeous place to lose yourself for a while.

4.5/5

It’s deeply emotional, obsessed with exploring the intricacies of humanity. It’s soft and loving and heartfelt. The performances are beautiful and full of vulnerability and nuance. And the whole movie is just one big love letter to the power of living.

4/5

Kogonada has taken a very unconventional, bold approach to his examination of holding on to fading humanity.

Will not be for everyone, but for those willing to put the time into this somber and ruminative experience there's a lot of reward at the end.

Really boring, no conflict, low hanging fruit of a theme.

SO bad. Respect your audience, for Christ's sake. What a pointless imposition. Even at only 1 1/2 hours. The longest you'll ever spend trying to make out something, anything, in the dark. Conceptually vacuous. Absurdly soporific cinematrophy. WT*** were the director and cinematographer thinking. And how much did they get paid?!

Despite a bonkers opening sequence, and a promising premise with themes of A.I., adoptive families, and memory; After Yang plods way too long with aimless characters and too much whispering.
