After the wedding is a solid film, driven by a sharp script and brilliant performances. The acting is, in fact, so good you can be forgiven for thinking you're watching a documentary. Its intensity never relents, with Susanne Bier's intelligent direction enhancing every emotion, every feeling. For a melodramatic film as this is, it must be driven by its characters, and most importantly by the viewer's compassion and empathy towards them. There are too many in this film to truly develop and some events feel a little rushed. Nonetheless a good film and worth watching, it defines life and social interaction in all its fragility and surprise well.
