After Sex

Boring movie !! Total waste of time. I expected something completely different from the movie. I could no longer look at. This is definitely a joke! 0/10 *

...a really honest movie about sex. I even created an account just so I could say how much I appreciated the candor and variety presented in this film. The characters are complex, yet accessible, and the dialog is comprehensive and thoughtful, yet not at all pretentious. Each vignette is just long enough to be interesting and complete, yet not too long, so you won't get bored by too much talk. As as Sociologist, I may be a little biased (I can people watch for hours), but the subject matter will captivate - trust me.

I am at home, sacked out on the couch with pneumonia, right now, or I would say more. But, know that I went to the trouble of creating this account just to brag on this movie. It will pique your interest, trust me. Cheers.

After Sex is an anthology film that mostly doesn't give its segments enough time to feel substantial. It's not boring or overlong, but also gives off a feeling of being rather low-effort.

The writing is the worst part of this movie. As an anthology movie, it's thematically consistent or at least none of the segments feel out of place, but most of them are very surface-level. Each revolves around some aspect related to sex, but the segments are over before they can explore anything interesting. Not in a way where I'm left wanting more out of the thrilling plots and characters, but more wondering what the point was when I just watched several minutes of generic indie fare. I don't remember any good jokes either; the opening credits are the most clever part of the film. Some segments are better than others, namely the ones which attempt actual character development. The worst is the one about the old couple, which is nothing but a one-note dialogue with comedy that doesn't land.

Despite the underwhelming writing, I think the movie does look kind of good, in an early 2000s way. The locations are pretty mundane but the movie does what it can to look visually appealing. I also remember liking the music, which has an identity and fits the scenes.

After Sex is not what I would call bad, just a watchable movie that never rises above mild amusement. It's more generally uninteresting than downright boring, and the fast pace, while compromising the quality of each segment, does prevent it from overstaying its welcome.

This movie is very engaging. Even with it's worst story line, it is never dull. The movie is divided into several conversations after sex. The conversations are interesting, humorous, sometimes painful, but mostly the characters are speaking honestly about life, and the wounds it can leave behind. What i like about this movie is it has integrity and balls. It is down right gritty. The director is taking these very touchy/taboo subjects and serving them on a spoon to the public. Some of the scenes may make more conservative people uncomfortable. Exploring gay/lesbian sex,interracial sex and first times, it's bound to make someone shake their head in disapproval, but i for one think a good movie does that. It makes people talk. For a low-budget film, it has a high emotional quality. It seems true to life i guess, which is a rare quality because most movies don't. They are so contrived/fabricated they become hard to relate to. I think this movie about stuff that can/does happen to everyone. It is genuine to the human condition.

The only problem i have with the movie is i want more. This film has these really likable characters, specially, the first couple, but the moments don't last long enough. We bounce from one couple to the next after they have sexual intimacy, but we the viewer never fill intimate with the characters. There is a sense of detachment from the characters that keep the story forgettable.

This film is about several couples from all walks of life having troubled conversations after having sex.

Though "After Sex" is low budget, it is still an interesting film. All the couples that they presented are of different background. They include sex with ex, domineering homosexual relationship, sexual exploitation of a friend, coming to terms of homosexuality, a loving old couple, teenage experimentation and one night stand. Each segment is interesting in their own right, as they reveal raw emotions and pain. With the variety of scenarios and emotions, one is likely to find a segment that strikes a chord. The most striking segment is the one where a guy lovingly says he loves his partner, but the partner passionlessly says "Whatever". It's sad.

"After Sex" is only for people who want to take a closer look at the emotional pain of sex. If you are looking for sex or action, then this is not for you.
