SWITCH. 1/10 Jul 05, 2019

‘After’ is this weird blend of ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ meets ‘Riverdale’ but never gets to the dumb fun both those are, nor does it have the sex appeal of those properties (there is a reason he is facing away from the camera on the poster). ‘After’ does not belong in cinemas nationwide; it’s even below Netflix's standards. It’s more of a YouTube original, or even just something to release on the Wattpad site for free. Still, the book’s sequels have been slated for production, so it looks like we’ll be suffering once again in 2020.

In general, the movie offers an engaging story that captures your attention, although it does have some noticeable plot holes and questionable moments throughout.

The film heavily emphasizes sexual content, centering much of its focus on these aspects, which may not be to everyone's taste.

Overall, the movie isn't terrible, but it's not exceptional either. It falls somewhere in the middle, making it at least somewhat decent and worth watching at least once.

After - Chapter 1 was a strong start for the series. Protagonist Tessa quickly becomes riddled with cliches and we soon grow attached to the real show stopper of the movie, Hardin, played by Hero Fiennes. Hardin is a pretentious drunk, whose pastime is insulting homeless people (spoiler!) and abusing his girlfriend. The lack of alchemy and semblance of love between the two characters reinforce the vision of abuse presented to us.
Overall a solid recommandation for the whole family.
