What to Know

Critics Consensus

It represents an occasionally uneven collision of genres, but all in all, Wladyslaw Pasikowski's Aftermath delves into Holocaust guilt with power and efficiency.

Peter Keough Boston Globe The shocks, and the repressed wickedness, as in all well-done horror films, build slowly, then reach a crescendo that is hard to bear and harder to shake off. Rated: 3.5/4 Oct 10, 2014 Full Review Cynthia Dickison Minneapolis Star Tribune A sense of dread suffuses this film, which offers yet another slice of World War II history. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 31, 2014 Full Review Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic There is something especially unsettling about groupthink, particularly when it comes to evil. Mar 14, 2014 Full Review Giuseppe Sedia Kino Mania Aftermath smacks of the best Hollywood thrillers. On the other hand, the pathos of the mass-grave discovery scene evokes the finest bloodshed productions from Hong Kong. Rated: 4/5 Jan 23, 2024 Full Review Neely Swanson Easy Reader (California) It's tough to watch but the substance makes it a journey worth taking. Sep 16, 2017 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The gripping thriller is meant as a shocker to provide a wake-up call to the world about the necessity of confronting past atrocities. Rated: B Jan 18, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Tremendous story, well acted and written. Even though fictional, some of it seemed so familiar based on what I've read and watched regarding WWII. The Jedwabne pogrom massacre in Poland...which even in recent years divides the Polish people. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie itself was okay but the story is one someone should know about and if you don't know it, this movie makes it pretty exciting in that you have no idea what's going on until it's spelled out for you. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I like dystopian movies and the reviews were good. This isn't good. Whole time except last 10 minutes locked whining in a basement with largely objectionable people. Nice idea, poorly executed. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Aftermath info is showing a Polish film and the cast is showing an American made film....whaaa? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member A courageous film ... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Simply didn't do justice to the real life tragedy!
