Watch After Love For Free

Absolutely Fantastic

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Some American films about couples beginning to fall apart have been well done and funny even, but this film takes the whole matter far too seriously. It is a serious matter but no one wants just woe and woebegone. I much prefer "Kramer vs. Kramer" and "The War Between the Tates." The French and francophone Belgians take everything too seriously except what should be taken seriously.

957/5000 It's a movie that would be very credible, but there comes a time when I get bored, I just hear that they are going to get divorced, that he wants more than she gives him and if he does not leave and that the reform increases the price.French cinema in the purest style. The actors are great, everyone. The girls are great and it is very difficult to get that. It's all very natural. That part is great, but I want to know something else.All movie shot in one location. On the one hand this is an achievement, but it is not such an achievement when in the end you get bored. And it is so, that in the end resolves with a voice-over.Like good French cinema, photography is like a video camera. She is white and does not count anything. Also, the management, only cares about the actors, if it behaves very well, but does not staging or anything. It's like watching a play, but this is not theater.In short there will be many people who enjoy it, if you do not care about watching movies, just a script.

Marie and Boris were in love once and have two daughters and a lovely house that Boris has done up mostly by himself. Somewhere along that journey the love has been reversed and now Marie can not abide the sight of her husband. They seem to have arrangements to cohabit until finances have been sorted but things are steadily falling apart.The film can be a hard watch as anyone going through a relationship meltdown or who has gone through one will know. The ways they chose to humiliate each other seem to know no bounds. Then we have the guilt trips and the fumbling make ups.It has the feel of a very well observed and constructed film. All the actors are great especially the children. What it does get for its unrelenting realism is a bleak and almost depressing film. This is as far from a 'feel good' film as you can possibly get – think 'Kramer Vs Kramer' only with better wine. As an artistic endeavour though it does have to be applauded for its achievements – but I had to watch something more cheery afterwards so do be warned.

Although I found this a brilliant film I also found myself thinking throughout why don't this couple go to arbitration, something they actually did at the end and of course the short answer is that had they done the obvious thing from the get-go we would have wound up with at best a two-reeler. I've never found myself in the position that the two protagonists share but the overwhelming impression is that millions of couples all over the world have and are. The two leading actors are simply outstanding and the real-life twins who play their twin daughters are not far behind. I first became aware of Berenice Bejo in the cod James Bond movie OSS 117: Cairo, Nest Of Spies, in which she played opposite Jean Dujardine long before they co-starred in The Artist and I always found her watchable and more than competent but here she really comes into her own and earns a place alongside the best actresses in French cinema from Isabelle Huppert on down. Renaissance man Cedric Kahn - Writer-Director-Actor is more than a match for her and together they lift a potentially depressing film to another level.
