      Richard P Waste of time. Horrible director Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/18/24 Full Review Audience Member Afterschool was two wasted hours that I'll never get back. If you feel it dragging, stop now!! It doesn't get better! There is no a haha moment, no car crash just the fade in a WTF was that. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Apparantly dialogue isn't in this filmmakers repertoire. ALL of the characters are depressed, unable to even speak... at all. So much silence and long pauses with nothing going on. This movie is just awful. Not clever, not interesting,... it truly is a "nothing" movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member This kid is a serial killer in the making. How he sat there and watched and suffocated the one twin that died in his arms. He appeared to have no sympathy nor feeling for those girls. In the end, someone was filming him as he stared at those pictures. Probably a "trophy" for him. He seriously needs to be watched. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Antonio Campos' debut feature is an artsy, provocative film about teenagers in the 21st century. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Antonio Campos debut is a risky and original great work Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Lisa Mullen Sight & Sound At its best this film is brave, cool and brimful of ideas, and if they're barely contained within the slightly flimsy story, that's down to Campos' decision to give himself the safety net of a well-worn genre. Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Nicolas Rapold Time Out Rated: 1/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Andrew O'Hehir Salon.com It's both a supremely controlled exercise in form and tone and an intriguing exploration of the ways new technology intersects with age-old questions of dominance, control and individuality, particularly in the school setting. Oct 9, 2009 Full Review Simon Miraudo Quickflix Antonio Campos' Afterschool plays like the creepy younger brother of Kenneth Lonergan's Margaret. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 23, 2012 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com The film examines such relevant issues as violence in school, voyeurism, and abuse. Rated: B Jun 9, 2011 Full Review William Goss Cinematical When not downright creepy, it's quietly damning of an administration willing to point all the wrong fingers and play up all the wrong angles before brushing the matter aside.
