Reviews


70
Los Angeles Times - Gary Goldstein
While the story's conceit brims with metaphor and symbolism, it rarely comes off as didactic or heavy-handed. Instead, it's smart and provocative. The movie's late-breaking twist also feels about right.
60
Village Voice - Sherilyn Connelly
After the Dark is a shaggy dog story but an intriguing and frequently beautiful one.
50
The Dissolve - Andrew Lapin
Through all the ham-fisted lunacy, writer-director John Huddles displays an infectious love of philosophy, coupled with an exhilarating, anything-goes filmmaking style.
30
The Hollywood Reporter - Frank Scheck
Although it displays far more imagination than is usual for such teen-oriented fare, After the Dark ultimately sinks under the weight of its pretensions.
30
The New York Times - Nicolas Rapold
Slack acting (perhaps aggravated by the harsh lighting design) and the script’s inability to build characters together vaporize the chances for the movie, which is both smugly clever and at times distastefully clueless.
