After Everything

Really powerful moving drama showing reactions of certain people in dealing with a young man with cancer. It's a true portrait of what it must be like for some people after they beat the disease. The central relationship between Maika Monroe & Jeremy Allen White is great and real and makes the movie work.

After Everything has genuine heart and strong chemistry between its leads, which makes the love story feel real and touching. The film captures the rush of young romance under difficult circumstances, and there are moments that feel honest and sweet. Still, the pacing is uneven and the character development doesn't go as deep as it could, leaving some parts feeling rushed and others dragging. It's the kind of indie drama that works best for viewers who enjoy simple, emotional storytelling, even if it doesn't always reach its full potential. For me, it lands at 6 out of 10 - moving in places, but not unforgettable.

I REALLY liked the first half of this movie. There was a lot of potential. The movie already moved at a fast pace but I felt like the second half was way too rushed.

It could have possibly worked better if the movie were longer but it just didn't work for me.

Then we get to the ending. What even was that?!

Again, MAYBE it could have worked if the movie was longer but ultimately, I felt ripped off.

This movie threw all the cliches about romantic comedy/drama films out the bathroom window and started working on its own path and the result was a beautifully crafted piece of art. This is how good movies are done and this (aside from the Notebook) is the only romance movie I'd gladly watch a second time!

Yes this general storyline has been used quite a bit lately it seems, but while not radically different this was unique enough to be intriguing. All aspects were well-done (writing, cinematography, acting, etc.), didn't try to be anything more than it is.
