Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Those with the patience to wait out Mr. Campos's overindulgences will definitely leave Afterschool unnerved, which is probably exactly what he had in mind.
Fresh: Anthony Campos (who was 24 when he made this jolting pic) captures the numbing psychic scramble that just might cause the YouTube generation to go morally haywire. Or become filmmakers.
Fresh: 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.
Fresh: Afterschool, the almost frighteningly accomplished first feature made by Antonio Campos when he was 24, is high school as horror show.
Customer Reviews
Half of a Movie
A little slow, a little too f-ed up, and all together frustrating in its similarity to reality. Problems exhibited, solutions unexplored. Half of what I'd like it to be.
Ezra Miller
He is just so cute in every movie that he is in:) I can't wait for we need to talk about Kevin!!!!! So excited:):):):)
