Luca Guadagnino’s After The Hunt is a sharply entertaining, if overly verbose, psychological overload of ‘Me Too’ commentary. It’s also a film that thrives almost entirely on the strength of its performances, led by a mesmerizing Julia Roberts. This is her movie through and through. Roberts anchors every frame with a stoic, quietly tormented performance - and her near-constant presence gives the film its gravity and pulse (seriously, she in almost every scene). Now, she is backed by equally sharp turns from Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri, the latter pulling off a particularly tricky role designed to keep audiences guessing. And, well, the film excels at that — constantly making us question motives, truth, and morality. It’s the kind of movie that lingers, forcing you to consider what “the right thing” really looks like in murky ethical terrain. That said, Guadagnino’s reach occasionally exceeds his grasp. The film juggles a lot — a professional scandal, a murky past secret, a pharmaceutical drug dependency, and a complicated marriage — sometimes to the point of overload. Roberts manages the chaos beautifully. The film itself - not always. It’s very talky, introspective nature might alienate those expecting momentum over monologue. Still, thanks to an all-in cast and a fearless script, After the Hunt stands as a gripping, if imperfect, meditation on guilt, justice, and the messy humanity in between.
