Review

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 depth and in the end, is an entirely beautiful film.

9/10
