After the Wedding

I am not sure why folks are trashing this film. Its a fine movie. The acting is stellar. Julianne Moore and Michelle Williams are outstanding and the story is good. I thought the pacing was good with respect to character growth and allowing the story to unfold. I definitely want to see the Danish version now!

One honest soap producer defined the "genre" as "you know, the father and the mother and the brain cancer" :-)) And that's exactly the definition of this pile of tripe - give or take a few frames :-)))) This is a soap condensed into a 90 min - give or take 15 :-) If this was a Lifetime made for TV flick I'd say "OK, their audience, their budget, didn't see it anyway". But this pile of soap pretends to be a bona fide feature film ? No way..

There are the exact the same words but the meaning is different. There are not close ups from eyes or hands. There is no emotion there are just words. So powerful was the original, so shallow is the remake. Even the little joke in the beginning, when Julianne Moore shows the view to Isabel. "At a clear day you can see New Jersey but who wants to see that" doesn't make sense here! There is no undercurrent in this movie, no subtleties that makes the original so emotional! Don't make a remake of everything. Americans can't make remakes of European movies because they miss the same background in everything

Another Hollywood Remake No one Asked for, God help us.

Not much to say about this American remake.....the Danish original with Mads was so great. Foreign films don't work in America.....completely different cultures.
