Plot Summary
Set in the winter of 2002 in chilly upstate New York, After tells the story of a middle class family struggling with the financial consequences of a failing family business and a series of intergenerational conflicts and rivalries. But, what truly threatens to upset their delicate balance - and shatter the emotionally fragile family matriarch (played by Academy Award-nominee Kathleen Quinlan) - is an intricately buried secret that, if revealed, could alter their lives irrevocably. A searing study of denial, deception, and self-delusion, After is also a powerful portrait of the lengths we go to protect those we love.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Viewers ... are left with little to do but endure a lot of seemingly unprovoked family tensions while waiting for the inevitable revelation.
Rotten: "After" catalogs so many cliches in the dysfunctional family at its center that the film could be taught in a screenwriting class as a lesson in what not to do.
Rotten: [There's] a fairly far-fetched twist that feels out of place in this realism-based drama.
Rotten: Throughout After, the filmmakers crank the trials of the film's Valentino family up to 11, sans irony or subversion.
Customer Reviews
AFTER
AFTER is an amazing movie. Everyone should see this film. At first I just got caught up in it. Then that night I went to bed thinking about it. Then I found myself talking to some friends about it. Then I'm at dinner and I'm thinking about it again. It's just one of those movies. I loved it.
