After The Wedding (2007)

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

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

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.

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

Uma obra de intensa carga emocional.

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.

Lovely, dense and surprising.

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.

Helene, caught like Jacob between lives, spends much of the film trying to explicate choices that now look only wrong.

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.
