After the Wedding Reviews
Denver Rocky Mountain News
Robert Denerstein
Bier's not timid about tossing any number of volatile ingredients into an already-simmering pot.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
Yes, they throw more than rice at this Wedding, but it's all in service of an astutely observed and sometimes shattering human drama.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
There are no guarantees with this sort of thing, but it really is possible that one or two scenes in After the Wedding will stay with you for the rest of your life.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
You leave the movie feeling exhausted, argumentative and exhilarated, surely the sign of a powerful film in any language.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
[Director] Bier's careful touch and the skill of the cast make After the Wedding an emotional and often lovely film. It's mostly a series of two-person scenes, delicately filled in with character details.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Stamets
Sounds like a soap opera. But Danish director Susanne Bier builds a high-minded melodrama from this plot material.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
Lovely, dense and surprising.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Life's a mess, it says, but you can't sweep up the dirt until you've taken a good, hard look at it.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
For once, the bigger the emotion, the truer the moviegoing experience.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
In my book it's high camp -- a thrill ride for emotion junkies.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
This is a fine tale of families and secrets, and its seemingly cold exterior gives way to something unexpectedly warm and soft inside.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Mikkelsen, Lassgard, Knudsen and Christensen seem to burrow into the deepest parts of their hearts and souls to turn the stuff of soap opera into a search for the real self.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Rosenblatt
Bier [is] the latest in a long line of filmmakers who have mastered the art of making movies about people we can all thank God we're not.
Film Comment Magazine
Joumane Chahine
There's nothing quite as devastating as tragedy treated with sharp and precise Northern European restraint.
Film.com
Jonathan F. Richards
One of the more interesting themes of this movie is the question of which is more important to a cause, the man or the money.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
May be the strangest and most surprising film you'll see this year, in that its character development runs counter to the expectations aroused by its narrative sequencing.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
The film brings us face to face with the movie's starkest truth: It's not whether or not we prevail over the inevitable setbacks in life, but who we connect with along the way.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
As the premise might suggest, Jensen's dramatic structure is so visible this sometimes seems like a late Rod Serling teleplay, but Bier has proved highly adept at merging conventional drama with the immediacy of the Dogma 95 movement.
AV Club
Noel Murray
After The Wedding could be the cinematic equivalent of a Coldplay song. And while that isn't necessarily a slam, it isn't a recommendation either.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
A thrilling -- and harrowing, and beautiful -- celebration of the unpredictability of life.
