I knew nothing about this film before going to see it except that it was Oscar nominated and starred Bond's 'Casino Royale' foe Mads Mikkelsen. But I'd heard good things and despite it being a day so sunny in April that you should really spend it in the park I ventured into the d...( read more)

"champagne is poured... secrets are spilled."
A multi-millionaire wants to know how much his money can really buy in this drama from Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier. Though born and raised in Denmark, Jacob Peterson (Mads Mikkelsen) has made a life for himself in India, w...( read more)
My second Bier film in as many weeks and an obvious sign she is no fluke artist. Her style of camera work is impeccable. As it drifts into extreme close-ups and hand held hypnotic beauty. The film may rely on a series of great coincidences but it soon straightens them out and off...( read more)
super emotional and intensely acted film about loss. it's rather depressing but all the actors do an astounding job. thinking back to the scene where jorgen breaks down and is screaming "i dont wanna die. why me?" over and over a few times is haunting!
Not good. I don't understand why this film has been so highley acclaimed. The story is decent yet dragged out and played out inefficiently, the film work is decent. The music is decent. The acting is decent. What was so wonderful about this movie?

Holy crap! This film was extremely effective and stunning. Possibly one of the most hard hitting films I've seen in the past ten years!
This film...is perfect! It is well acted, has great plotline, and some surprises. It tocuhes your heart and also makes you think of if you could do what Mikkelsen's character does.
[Director] Bier's careful touch and the skill of the cast make After the Wedding an emotional and often lovely film. It's mostly a series of two-person scenes, delicately filled in with character deta... full review
There are no guarantees with this sort of thing, but it really is possible that one or two scenes in After the Wedding will stay with you for the rest of your life. full review
Life's a mess, it says, but you can't sweep up the dirt until you've taken a good, hard look at it. full review
A thrilling -- and harrowing, and beautiful -- celebration of the unpredictability of life. full review
Secrets are revealed. Tears are shed. One revelation leads to the next, but never once does the story seem gratuitous. full review
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Efter brylluppet (After the Wedding)" !
