	Media	Author	Review
		Claudia Puig USA Today	"'Hereafter' is a pensive saga that transcends death and lyrically examines our darkest fears and our most deeply held beliefs (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter	"The film never is less than intriguing, right from its tour de force opening sequence, and often full of insights (...) the ending is a letdown. It's too facile"
		Kyle Smith New York Post	"What would 'Gran Torino' 's Walt Kowalski say to such a limp and passive film? "Get off my screen"
		A. O. Scott The New York Times	"It has the power to haunt the skeptical, to mystify the credulous and to fascinate everyone in between (...) an unusual experience and an open-ended inquiry into something nobody can really claim to understand"
		Todd McCarthy IndieWire	"The film has distinctive ambitions, visits unusual places and creates a special mood that are somewhere in the neighborhood of haunting"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"An unholy embarrassment that everyone involved will do best to forget (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"[It] considers the idea of an afterlife with tenderness, beauty and a gentle tact. I was surprised to find it enthralling (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
		Justin Chang Variety	"A beguiling blend of the audacious and the familiar; it dances right on the edge of the ridiculous and at times even crosses over, but is armored against risibility by its deep pockets of emotion"
		Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"Morgan’s script turns out to be a fine match for Eastwood’s fluid, unassuming directing style"
		William Thomas Empire	"Slow, ponderous and as shallow as it thinks it is deep (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Tim Robey Telegraph	"Morgan’s script spends a long time squirming with embarrassment at its own ideas (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
