 8/10 |
As a critic, I don't always have the luxury of choosing everything I see. And a lucky thing, too, because director Susanne Bier's After the Wedding is making a strong argument that my instincts about Danish cinema are wrong wrong wrong. Full Review |

7/10 |
Une oeuvre aussi sincère que les intentions de ses protagonistes qui épate par l'efficacité d'une mise en scènes dont les rouages se veulent entièrement au service du discours Full Review |

3/5 |
Un buen ejemplo de cómo se puede hacer una película madura y atrapante con el mismo argumento base de una telenovela mexicana. Full Review |

3.5/5 |
It's a treat when a movie offers characters this rich and layered. Full Review |

One of the very best films to be released in America in the first third of 2007. Full Review |

After the Wedding is seamless, holding our attention, engaging our emotions and satisfying our cinematic needs with a story of human weakness, strength, heart and the capriciousness of fate Full Review |

|
A |
Every scene is kissed with irony, the characters all seem believably flawed, the narrative unfolds with just the right storytelling panache and everything else about the production seems right. Full Review |

Those willing to overlook its emotional grandstanding will find much to admire and even more to think about in this Oscar-nominated Danish drama. Full Review |

Uma obra de intensa carga emocional. Full Review |

3.5/5 |
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. Full Review |

|
5/5 |
Lovely, dense and surprising. Full Review |

|
4.5/5 |
The portent of [director] Bier’s unyielding vision may turn some viewers off, but she has the extraordinarily moving story to warrant the self-conscious artiness. Full Review |

|
Helene, caught like Jacob between lives, spends much of the film trying to explicate choices that now look only wrong. Full Review |
||
|
|
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. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
There are certainly some big emotional moments here that vibrate with emotional intensity, but they always stop short of sheer theatrics, and it doesn't feel like any of them are unearned. Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
A shrewdly constructed narrative and strong lead performances make up for much -- including Bier's irritating penchant for shoving her handheld camera in her cast's faces. Full Review |
||
|
A- |
After the Wedding's anguished portrait of family, charity, and mortality peels back layers in the characters that defy their easy categorization. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
After the Wedding has a dignity of purpose that is made to feel authentic by the performances. Full Review |
||
|
89/100 |
...a highly entertaining film that manages to be brutally honest about human motivation and the compromises we're willing to make to hold onto the people we love for as long as we can. Full Review |

|
3.5/4 |
The odd cropping of the closeups is Bier's way of acknowleding that the slices of life we see onscreen can't begin to convey the complicated messiness of existence. Full Review |
