After everything it wasn't necessary to have so many movies in this movie series
After Everything is the fifth and final part of the After film series. The film is again directed and written by Castille Landon, who also directed two previous films in the series.
After his relationship ends, Hardin Scott (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) runs into writer's block. He is no longer able to write a second book. As a result, he ends up as a lost alcoholic.
To escape this life, he travels to Lisbon to visit his old lover Nathalie (Mimi Keene). In this way, he hopes to learn how to right his mistakes and have another chance with his lost love Tessa Young (Josephine Langfort).
This film is the first film in the film series that is not directly based on a real book from the After book series. Instead, they based this film more on unused storylines and Castille Landon himself was able to provide some inspiration for the story. The fact that this film is not really based on a book and comes more from pure inspiration is reflected in the messiness of the final film. This shows that they unnecessarily spread this book series over too many films, which was ultimately a bit unnecessary.
Hardin's character is also on more of a holiday in Lisbon for much of this film. It seems as if they have saved up the proceeds from the previous films in order to be able to go to Lisbon with the film cast and crew. Nothing special happens on Lisbon itself, except that Hardin tries to learn from the mistakes of his past. For this he picks up an old relationship with a new character who did not appear in the previous films or was not mentioned further. Josephine Langford, her character, hardly appears in this last film and is more visible in flashbacks of old scenes from the previous films. This makes it not very credible that the two separated lovers in this last film really tried to pick up or improve their relationship again.
After five films, the acting hasn't really improved either. Hopefully, after this film series, Hero Fiennes Tiffin will find better films and film series in which he can act in the future. Because Josephine Langford is hardly in this film, she didn't have to do much else. Hopefully she can also find better future films to act in. The rest of the returning and new cast members also get little special to do in this last film. Some seem a bit strange, because after four previous films they suddenly have to play important roles in this film out of nowhere. Most of these characters just have little to no background for the viewer to really care about them.
