	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Debruge Variety	"Though contained enough to be a play, Joachim Lafosse's look at an out-of-love couple still forced to cohabitate explores that dynamic cinematically."
		Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"It's like Ingmar Bergman's 'Scenes from a Marriage' condensed into a shorter timeframe (...) although its depiction of a crumbling relationship can be just as complex, if not quite as emotionally resonant during its final stages."
		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"An unflinching portrait of the final weeks of a marriage."
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Bejo and Kahn are excellent (...) 'After Love' is intelligent, compassionate, challenging film-making (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Andrew Lowry Empire	"This is superior filmmaking. Superbly acted and well written, it stakes its claim in the pantheon of love-gone-wrong watches (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Dave Calhoun Time Out	"Brilliant (...) The effect is extremely powerful (...) 'After Love' is painful to watch at times, but it’s also very well performed by Bejo and Kahn (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Tara Brady Irish Times	"[An] unflinching look at a marriage coming to an end (...) Kahn is impressive, yet the film belongs to Bejo (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
