After the Wedding is a film that explores such a wide variety of themes that range from rich vs. poor, materialism, father/daughter relationships, infidelity, and death. The most compelling part of After the Wedding is the father's attempt to play God for the lives of his family, manipulating his daughter's real father and using money to set things right again. It questions the idea that the rich are spoiled and materialistic, and therefore could not possibly be helping the world or contributing meaningfully to society. Rolf Lassgård's performance is brilliant as he portrays the manipulative but ultimately respectable and loving father, and Mads Mikkelsen (the villain from Casino Royale) gives his best as well. This movie is not to be missed, as After the Wedding holds so much...Read more

Not everything is "rotten in Denmark".

A thought provoking and emotionally absorbent film. By the end of the film you'll be questioning your own choices in life. It doesn't matter to me what language Mads Mikkelsen is speaking in a film, his face and mannerisms are an international language of their own.

A man, Jacob (Mikkelsen) currently living in India and educating Indian children is requested to go to Denmark. He is supposed to meet Jørgen (Rolf Lassgård) who will provide him with funds to help his orphanage survive. What Jacob will find is a secret that will change his life, quite simply, forever.

Good points for the cast, the acting performances, the script and photography.
It is unfortunate that the movie went on and on, and was just too slow to fully enjoy.

Worth watching if you have the patience to wait for the ending.
