After Everything

How perfect was the first half going ... but the ending brother is very weird ...

This movie gives a simplified, candid, and episodic view of a relationship between two New Yorkers, one of whom is fighting a rare form of cancer. What I really liked is that the two main actors played it straight. There were no cheap jokes or exaggerated situations- it felt like a true depiction of how a fast relationship takes its course, showing both the triumphs and pitfalls.

Now I wasn't moved by this movie and it didn't cause me to think deeply about my life, but this was a refreshing film compared to a lot of works I've seen lately. The ending was cheap and abrupt, yet overall this was a pleasant picture.

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.
