- TriviaKeira Knightley uses a body double for the nude scenes in the film. After giving birth to her daughter in May 2015, Knightley, who had been naked onscreen several times since she was sixteen, announced that she would no longer perform nude. She said that in the past, she didn't mind exposing her breasts because, "they're so small people really aren't that interested," but not any longer. "I have been comfortable earlier with more nudity than I am now. I have had a kid, I am in my 30s, I am very happy with my body," the actress revealed. "But I don't feel I need to get it out that much any more." She's added that she's fine if movies use body doubles, but she won't be stripping naked herself for any reason.

Lewis Morgan: None of this is how it was supposed to be, and yet here we are.
- Alternate versionsFor the film's Australian release, the distributor chose to make reductions to stronger sexual detail in two scenes in order to obtain an M classification. The uncut version of the film was later released with an MA15+ classification for a DVD/Video release.

Featured review
I sought out The Aftermath primarily because of an interest in its setting, post war occupied Germany. What I found was a well made film, full of great performances. All of the characters in this film were emotionally wounded in some way and it was fascinating to watch them clash and interact.
A handsome and compelling production, I don't understand some of the poor reviews I've seen for this movie. Romantic films really aren't my thing but The Aftermath held my attention throughout its running time.
Great ending too.
