overdone.

Bier (who cowrote this with Anders Thomas Jensen) explores her characters' moral dilemmas in ultra close-up. Stern, intense drama with superior performances.

There are a lot of tangled histories in this drama about the tricky, tremulous structures of families and the ways that the past can reassert itself in the most unexpected ways. Bier has a finely tuned sense of how people push against one another when they're at their most vulnerable and desperate. She lets scenes play out in unsparing, wrenching fashion. She also has a few unfortunate visual affections that dress up the action unnecessarily, especially a penchant for extreme close-ups on eyes.

A fascinating tale of a certain misguided tenderness, really quite sweet, and it's all rooted in characters that genuinely care about each other.

"The wunderkind Jensen's scripts are all schematic and prone to stock characters, but they are soap operas after all, and After the Wedding is beautifully performed by its eager cast." - Ed Gonzalez

aptly named drama with a strong overall cast. not predictable and yet believable too.

~First World Problems~ The film is fantastically well constructed and acted, to the point where even the predictable aspects felt genuine. Bier does a fantastic job with her cinematography and editing to help the audience connect to the characters, The framing device feels exploitative, though, and instead of saying something broader about social inequality it feels tacked on and distracting from the human drama. A great film with one significant flaw.

wow yeah go ahead and use sigur rós during a funeral scene, see if i care.

Interesting story and good performances, although it suffers from the dramatic situations being a little too obviously set-up, and it drags on a bit because it tries to make three or four characters into really deep, conflicted, multi-faceted gargantuors. It could have packed a better punch as a more stripped-to-basics story with less character detail. Susanne Bier directs emotional scenes very well and always captures true-to-life expressions, as well as surprises which add to the authenticity.

Bier is great at capturing emotions with her swirling, intimate camerawork, although she crossed the line into overwrought slightly towards the end.
