      Audience Member Didn’t really get a lot out of this one. The actors are a dime a dozen but if only the melodrama was more engaging. 2 hours is pushing it too. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/27/22 Full Review steve d Melodramatic and unpleasant. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Look at the lives of two married couples and the chaos that consumes them. It's a stale character study that has nothing new to offer. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review william s You want a good movie look elsewhere but if you want to see a great acting performance by Christie,than take a look. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Julie Christie is the only thing aspect of this film that merits time watching it. The whole film feels amateurish. It is strange to think that Alan Rudolph actually made this. It is all pathos without any hint of believability save Christie's dedicated work. But even that is stretching it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Clasico Alan Rudolph y Julie Christie fabulosa (y hermosa). Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Richard Brody New Yorker The actors deliver their lines with stark and declamatory fervor, and their gestures have a sharp, sculptural stillness that's reminiscent of the grand artifices of classic-Hollywood productions. Sep 2, 2019 Full Review Mike Clark USA Today Like Tiffany jewels in a Woolworth setting, talented veterans Julie Christie and Nick Nolte outshine Alan Rudolph's mediocre film Afterglow. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 9, 2018 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: A- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight Afterglow, while occasionally an entertaining movie, focuses too much on sex and not enough on character. Rated: 3/4 Jan 7, 2023 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com Rated: 3/5 Oct 20, 2007 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Alan Rudolph's romantic roundelay sounds a lot more interesting than it plays.
